I am so very scared for the OC people

 

[MsFacetious]

The tornado just fizzled out (roped out)! (Near Draper.)
Unbelievable to watch!

Tornado may be as large as 2 miles wide. Prayers for everyone.

Decimation is what I've been hearing.

If ANYONE is in OKC, get UNDERGROUND, and stay there.

Prayers, prayers and more prayers.

ETA: Well built houses have been lifted and tossed.

If up, please be aware that it can come back down, in a short time. Be very, very careful, and the tornado emergency has NOT been lifted.

ETA2: best live chase link I've found for clarity of watching is http://www.chasertv.com/

ETA3: Moore, Oklahoma: school has been badly hit per CNN (I think it's been destroyed). Prayers for everyone. Reminiscent of May 3 1999 storm. People had some warning, so they're hoping that there has been a lot of people taking cover in underground shelters. Also saying that this storm was "bigger by far" than the 5/3/99 storm. This tornado was on the ground for at least an hour.

God help everyone. Horrific, horrific, horrific.

I didn't catch the name - now they're saying aerospace industry area.
It looks like Tinker but they didn't report it was hit - just that the tornado was heading that way.

It looks like the tornado has dissipated (CNN). Still alot of red on the map.
Emergency crews heading out.
39 injured from storms last night.

Is there a scanner thread for this storm? TIA

 

[Woe.be.gone]

3600 without power - at least. Tornado on ground for 35 minutes!

 

[Hopeful One]

Oh no, they're saying through scanner chatter only, an elementary school may have been hit. NO verification yet.

ETA: And by scanner chatter, I mean the TV news station scanner - now ours here at WS.

 

[Woe.be.gone]

Is there a scanner thread for this storm? TIA

I don't know. If there is it would be in the basement (lower threads list).

 

[MsFacetious]

Briarwood Elementary may have been hit.
School is IN SESSION??
Are you serious?! :thud:
