You can’t run from a tornado

You certainly can and should if you have no place to shelter and you are in the track of the tornado.

God bless and hold those little ones tight.

".....clocked winds at 318mph."

Really?

I doubt any anemometer could measure that high.

Where, and by whom, was this clocked?

‘Must’ve been rain water...’

I’m curious as to how many adults were with the kids as this happened.

I suppose the school had a “no guns” sign but not a “no tornados” sign

not sure of that specific number but throughout the storm the weathermen were using doppler radar to estimate wind speed.

Many homes in Oklahoma have safe rooms built into the garage; steel beams inside cement blocks, anchored into the slab foundation, with a steel door and reinforced roof. If you don’t have a storm cellar, it’s the next best thing.

That's interesting information. In Michigan, most people have basements as it's not a problem digging them. I wondered what was done in those areas of the country were you might have to blast to dig a basement.
When I heard that yesterday's tornado ripped the door right off of someone's storm cellar, visions of the movie Twister crossed my mind. How does one protect ones self from that kind of force?

No idea but certainly there had to be...
I heard a report that they found a teacher under debris, sheltering three children...I assumed they were deceased but it wasn’t said.

Did they say if it was from the rain or something like a sprinkler water line break?

I heard they have found 6 children, If what is say is correct that the hallway no longer exist,I fear the children may have been caught up in the vortex.

I see people presuming to know the will of GOD...

GOD is good. Satan comes to seek, kill, and destroy. Only the FATHER knows why things happen, but HE promises to make all things work together for good for those who love the LORD, because GOD is good.

When the Teneriffe tsunami wipes out Rhode Island we can smugly rejoice I suppose. The Senator should get busy writing a law to prohibit tsunamies.

Radar.

Never seen one that big, but back home that is how some of the speeds were calculated.

Dear God.
