Severe Weather 2013 Spring, Summer and Fall

How well will the drill work when the entire school is destroyed from a direct hit?

Don't know what their emergency plan is RabidBadger. Some reports schools let out early, some schools not let out early. I'm just hoping they made the right call.

Is there a scanner thread for this?

I texted dear friends in Illinois to warn them that the storm line looks like it's heading her and the kids' way...sent over the info I could.

God be with everyone in this storm line's path.

"People are trapped all over"
"This is NOT over yet"
"Meeker OK has rotating storm over it. TAKE COVER NOW"

Just a few comments from CNN HLN in last 2 minutes.

Tricia? The Co-owner of Websleuths is from Utah.
Or do you mean another Tricia.

Yes, WS's Tricia. Thank you for answering. After I typed, my brain brought up Utah as a possibility too. Glad, in this case, that's the answer.

The schools and the children, this is horrible. You can hardly prepare for this kind of devastation. Frightening to watch, Godspeed to all that are near and that have families that may be affected.

Were the buildings near the daycare gone? Maybe the kids and staff took refuge there? lease:

I reached my niece in Norman. She is ok. Cannot get through to niece or family in Moore. I am sure it is just phones. Can't even get my sister in del city. Cannot believe could cause more damage than 1999. My sister said she wanted to dig a hole when they were screaming for everyone to get underground. Watching on cnn is making me ill but don't know what else to do but keep calling and watching.

Oh heck! Some are saying this is going to be the worst tornado in history! 200 mile and hour plus winds, two schools leveled. Chance of survival is bad.

I'm in shock!

New tornado warning for Pauls Valley , Byars and Stratford.
