I'm just watching the late night news with a reporting of the Oklahoma tornado damage and victims.

It makes me feel terribly sad that year after year innocent people are losing their lives in natural disasters like this.

May god be with them and their families.

    Yes I just feel terrible for people that lose everything, especially their lives or family. ...Yet they stay there in 'tornando alley' -

    Wow - I guess you would never get used to what is 'normal' there - Stay safe if you are in OK! OK?

      Many of us would prefer to dodge tornadoes than to live some place like California where there is no warning and nothing you can do to protect yourself from earthquakes.

      The Carney storm two days ago was the closest to me. It was about 30 miles to the south.

      There are at least two warriors in the Moore area. Hopefully, they are well.

      There are another 97 in Oklahoma City:

      Some of these folks may have been in the area of Oklahoma City that was hit before Moore was hit.

  • It's wild. Whole neighborhoods are being leveled. This tornado was up to a mile wide:

    If you are so inclined, you can watch the local Oklahoma City news feed here:

    Click on the Play button in one of the black boxes above the radar image.

    They said they will continue live until the last missing person is located.

      Bill,

      I didn't know anything about this until Matt Roe emailed me about putting together a fundraiser here for the Red Cross. The news reports are horrific.

      I was about to email you to see if you were okay, and thought to check here to see if you'd logged in. That's how I spotted this thread.

      If memory serves, Marlon's Dad and some of his family live near Moore, which got hit hard. I'm hoping they're all okay.

        I just saw the story about the tornado on people.com. It is so tragic.

        My thoughts and prayers go out to the families.
