Severe Weather 2013 Spring, Summer and Fall

[Woe.be.gone]

Two miles wide and 35 minutes on the ground. Has this happened before?
If only 3600 without power, that's almost a miracle then. Let's wait, maybe they spoke too soon.

OMG they are showing the school destroyed - kids running to their parents. This is horrible!!!!!!!

 

[MsFacetious]

WHY were the kids in school?
They knew this was coming today, why didn't they close schools???

Setting up search and rescue at Warren Theater.

Terrifying...and the thing is still going!

 

[MsFacetious]

Another school completely GONE...

People are going through the destroyed school... civilians...
I hope those aren't parents.
Plaza Towers Elementary School. The other school is on like 149th.

Thank you. My sister lives near there... was just in a panic trying to watch everything and listen to scanner. Also have family in Moore....

Oh Anna, I hope and pray they're alright. This is so scary. I'm sending up prayers for your sister and fran's too.

Personally, this is my worst nightmare.

The other school behind "Family Farm"?

Do they have anywhere in a school to hide in a tornado?
Would they just go to the gym??
And he said that the Junior High Gym was destroyed.

This is a nightmare. An absolute nightmare. There are going to be a lot of casualties I'm thinking. How devastating.

May 3, 1999, a tornado hit Moore. These poor people.
Current tornado was more southern but wider so the extent of damage undetermined.

 

[MsFacetious]

Storm is recycling... same storm, still has a tornado warning on it.
Heading for Fire Lake Casino... North Shawnee.

 

[MsFacetious]

Emergency Officials... urgent request... if you see flashing lights get out of the way.
Let emergency officials get in there NOW.

It probably depends. Here in WI some of the schools have basements but in our school, we had to go to the locker rooms at ground level for tornado drills.

 

[Hopeful One]

Now there is a fire that has started.

 

[MsFacetious]

Fire.... gas leak? It's a house.

 

[Woe.be.gone]

Safest if underground. Don't they have underground shelters in OK?
With the history there, you think they would. Tragic.

Warning people to be safe on ground - electrical and gas, stuff falling, etc.

Plaza Towers Elementary School. Unsure if children were there today.

 

[MsFacetious]

I would think they would have kept them home today!!
