Yeah not cool.

That damn Tornado alley gets some new victims every year and it seems like it gets worse every year for the last 4-5 years or so.

Give those people a lot of credit they don't quit and they jump in to help a neighbor even when they have lost everything themselves

And we thought we had it bad here in Granbury. Moore Okl has been hit twice in the last 13 years and 1 time before that. Those poor people, I can only hope and pray they fare better than it looks.

Actually 3 times, 99, 03, and today. Very sad to see this happen anywhere but in the same place 3 times is just devastating. We have had a tornado here and it did a lot of damage but that was many years ago but I still remember how bad it was. I heard that many lives were saved by the many storm shelters in the Moore area so that is some positive news.

Oklahoma Tornadoes

I know there are a few Oklahomans on here. Wanted to let people know that we were lucky in Tuttle. Moore got hit bad again. If any locals need help please let me know.

The City of Moore's Facebook page updated this morning with 101 people rescued last night. I can not watch the news because of the little kids lost. My 3 were safe but we were lucky. The storm started east of us on its way to Moore.
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. If you feel like helping look into the redcross. I think you can give and state the money specifically go to Oklahoma relief.
Personally I was in a basketball gym with our HS students. We are lucky it didn't hit us. Crazy.

Moore has some very tough people!

They have been hit by tornadoes on October 4, 1998, May 3, 1999, May 8, 2003, May 10, 2010, and May 20, 2013.

All of my freinds and co-workers who live in Moore were very lucky this time and did not take a dirrect hit.

However, I have one friend who lives west of Shawnee that got hit Sunday afternoon.

After a mostly quiet spring tornado season, the last three days most of us in central Oklahoma have been on edge with all of the "naders" and "nader watches"!

I hope everyone with relatives and friends in the effected areas finds that their loved ones are safe. It is definitely tragic. Luckily, my family has only been hit by storms in Lawton.

BTW, I merged the threads.

A local tv station was doing a donation drive out here a few days ago and raised $220k for the people in just 1 day.
