At least 51 dead, 20 of them children in a tornado that ripped through Oklahoma today that at one point may have been 2 miles wide. I have no words, it's just so sad.

Terrible. I guess you can't build a building that will withstand 200 MPH winds.

Just saw the TV news footage. That school looks like a bomb hit it. Horrifying.

I lived in Moore a few years ago. I really liked it and thought it would be cool to maybe move there one day.
No chance of that happening

I don't know what to say about this. I wish I could think of something to say. Words come so much easier when humans cause this kind of destruction.
They were just talking on the radio show I listen to about how a couple of the 1st grade teachers laid on their students and did whatever they could to protect their kids from the tornado. Sadly quite a few were killed. It hits very close to home as all I could think about was my wife and my son and what might happen if they could not be evacuated from their school. Thankfully tornadoes are a fairly rare occurrence in Utah still. I do still worry about earthquakes.

Apparently, this is what it took to survive...
10 employees and 5 customers took refuge in this bank vault.
