They said there were 7 bodies in the pool of water. There are 24 additional children still missing.
I'm listening to CNN on my TV, and KFOR local livestream.
I will pray for these babies, and I will hope for them, and for their families.
Does anyone know why/how these babies drowned?
Also, I know it's premature to talk about prevention but I don't want to forget:
As students in Locust Grove get ready to head back to the classroom this year, they'll be doing so in state-of-the-art style.
The community got its first chance Tuesday to tour the space-age school that administrators call "tornado-proof."
It looks like it belongs more on The Jetsons than in Mayes County.
Locust Grove said the domed-design cost $2.5 million less than a traditional metal building, and the district estimates the super-insulated domes will save $25,000 a year on electric costs alone.
"They're the most highly energy efficient building you can do and they're rated an F-5 tornado, so an F-5 tornado can hit this building, and it's gonna still be here," said Superintendent David Cash.
The campus can also serve as a community shelter in a worst-case scenario.
The school was built with a $4.5 million federal stimulus grant.
