There aren't words to express my sorrow in what has happened. The children, God help the families, comfort them and hold them!
God help those in Oklahoma

Really surreal watching it the last few hours, the devastation is breathtaking, not to make it sound like a positive, but that's the best way I can personally describe it.
Thoughts go out...
Thoughts go out...
Two days with very strong and large tornados, 100's of homes gone. Today two schools got it, with kids there.
A horrible tornado and it leveled a school and there were children inside
We still don't know how many were lost. God's little angels!
Yes. Sadness. I was home this aft and watched it on the news. Prayers to find your loved ones safe.
I've been following it for a couple of hours and just looking at the live shots of the tornado you knew it was going to be bad. The aftermath scenes are absolutely devastating.
And yes, by all early reports this is the worst tornado in history. Thoughts are with all affected.

Why dont they evacuate ... Isteas of keeping them in a school buiding
I wonder the same considering there were reports the 4th and 5th graders were evacuated and the 3rd graders were not, but details are still pretty hazy right now. I've heard earlier the tornado was nearly a mile wide at points though, it's hard to outrun something like that when it comes on so fast. Really crazy though, there have been a few tornadoes in Jersey lately, which is... well, weird, but I can't imagine what it's like living in a place like OKC where I guess this is pretty commonplace, even if not on this scale.
It's terrible! I don't watch the news but saw about it on FB.... no wonder Kayte's been crying all day
My son lives in Oklahoma! Thank goodness they are all ok.

There literally is nowhere to evacuate TO. If you are lucky you have 10 minutes warning. All you can do is get to the most tornado safe part of the building and pray.
Every school I have taught at has a procedure the only change is WHERE they tell you to go depending on hte way the building is made.

I'm so happy that they are okay Dale, so very happy! I hope that any of our family here on ECF that's out there are okay as well. I think that I will be crying with Kayte tonight.

Unlike hurricanes, where residents are given many days of warning, tornadoes spawn and hit in a matter of minutes. The residents know they live in a tornado-prone part of the country, but nobody can expect them to stop their lives, and stay in hiding, because of the rare chance of a storm as bad as today.
Earth is a dangerous place and we only have two choices: understand that and live the best life we can, or cower in fear.
I send prayers and hugs to all the families that have lost loved ones today in these storms. I cannot imagine exactly what they are going through, but I have been a FL East Coast resident since 1956 so understand the devastation and loss from hurricanes.
Oklahoma - as always, the rest of the US has your back, and we will help you get through this. Red Cross drives are already going on in my area. Stay strong, hug your family, and know that we love you.
Horrible news indeed. I hope nobodys families were affected from here and hope the Good Lord blesses the survivors.
The Midwest seems to be getting hit a lot the past 5 yrs or so.
