riproost:
Unbelievable. Wishing Danger and all affected the best. Just don't know what to say.

My families thoughts and prayers have gone out to you Danger and to all those who are bravely suffering through this natural disaster.
Friar-Tuck:
Thankful that you and yours are O.K.
Putting in a good word for you all tonight Danger. Please let us know if there is anything we can send your way
that may be of some assistance. I don't know if services will be open for a few days, (UPS USPS etc)
However I am willing to try. You'd be surprised what this bunch may be able to get to you!
Peace, Healing and Recovery

--- Quote from: Danger4u2 on May 20, 2013, 03:14:04 PM ---Yesterdays killer tornado started 4 miles North of my house. Today's devastation was 17 miles South. It's bad, real bad. Children killed at one grade school, no deaths but many injuries at the 2nd elementary school that was hit. A riding buddy's house destroyed. His car upside down in what's left of his house. He was at work, his sister was visiting his wife at his house. They jumped in the SUV and hauled ass. His kids go to a different school nowhere near the tornado track. Power went out here at 3pm, came back on at 8pm. Ran the gen. for TV, lights, fridge......
They just found the body of an adult, picked up by the tornado somewhere and dropped on the side of a rural road. 100's of homes just gone. So bad ass it ripped the grass off of the ground. It crossed a lake and sucked a foot of water from it.
I think it tracked right through CrossTimbers off road riding area. A medium tornado went through the riding area May 8, 2003. It was 6 month before all the trees were cut out of the way. They said today's went just North of the water treatment plant. That's were the riding area is.
The news is reporting this from when it started and I can hear it.....51 confirmed dead, 233 injuries at area hospitals, both of these are expected to rise.
The weather man was pleading with people to go below ground or get in your car and run. The heavily populated area had a 40 minute warning that it was coming their way. I don't understand why they didn't throw those kids on the buses and run for it. Sit in each others lap if they didn't have enough buses. Moore OK. is a suburb of OKC. 3 tornados have tracked through their town in recent years. May 3rd, 1999 (very bad), May 8th 2003 and the big one today.
Thanks for thinking of us in here Oklahoma.

i just saw it live in the german news ... they spoke of over the 51 dead people :-( .. thats real real bad. cars and buildings can be replaced, but taken from life, there is no way back.
nice to hear, that you, your family and friends are all ok... i feel with you and all the other people in your area.
Danger4u2:
Thank you for the kind words and thoughts.
The good:
101 people found alive after I went to bed last night. Most injured, trapped in the rubble. Many safe and sound but trapped in their storm shelter.
A cold front moved through and pushed the rain off of and away from the rescue area this morning.
My friend, even though he suffered a total loss of everything but his truck, his wife's SUV and what they were wearing can be thankful.
His kids were in school in a different area and his wife and sister escaped to safety. I bet he's holding them real tight right now.
A 1.5 mile traffic jam 11PM last night at channel 9 TV station of people donating canned food, gloves, flashlight batteries, diapers, bottled water.............................
A couple of scumbag losers were arrested for looting.
The bad:
90 plus dead. 20 children from the elementary school. 68 injured children in area hospitals.
I just heard on TV they may have double counted some of the dead, death count may be wrong.
I asked my boss if I could take off work to help Justin salvage his home. She said not a problem. I have the best boss.
I think with the 7 of us that ride together, my generator and a few sawsalls we can make quick work getting to his pictures, guns, motorcycle.......
Right now more storms are forming and moving into the area, not severe but heavy rain is expected. This is not a good for the rescue efforts.
