Devastation in Oklahoma today

C

crainbebo

My prayers are out to everyone that is in the OKC metro area. There has been a devastating tornado in the Moore, OK area, destroying everything in it's path, and destroying an elementary school where many kids are still not accounted for. One of KFOR's reporters says this is "the most devastating tornado in the world." I'm watching KOCO-5 online and they are talking about the destruction and picking up children 1/4 mile away from the elementary school in Moore that was destroyed. Please pray for them.

MSNBC is simulcasting KFOR 4 with lots of coverage.

UPDATE - Flipped through the TV channels

CNN, HLN, MSNBC, TWC, Fox News in live wall-to-wall coverage. KFOR 4 is ALSO simulcated on The Weather Channel. My local KIRO-7 is simulcasting KWTV-9 with lots of coverage, preempting "Right this Minute".

Death toll is 51 people including 20 children which most if not all were from the tragic Plaza Heights ES devastation. Many are not accounted for and may be drowned/dead. (Kindergarten through 3rd grade :'( )

News Talk 1520 KOKC's towers were 100 YARDS away from total devastation to the tower. The tornado got THAT close. I watched KOCO for several hours and the devastation is very bad. It's not even over yet as another round of severe WX may happen tomorrow in the south and midwest.

KOKC is still on the air, right? I'm sure they need whatever radio coverage can be provided.

I saw 91 as the death toll. Later in the day, we can all be glad that was reduced to 24. There was a lot of duplication. I don't see how anyone could have said 40 bodies were ready to be sent when there weren't 40 bodies TOTAL.
