Moore/newcastle tornado

Wow. This looks worse than Joplin. Hope everyone's ok.

Watching the streaming now. Awful. Hoping our OSA brethren will check in as they can.

They are saying lots of fatalities. Prayers go out to you guys, I wish I could get down there to help

Anyone having cell phone issues ?

Yep; cellular service has gone to pot in Norman, at least. My brother in T-town finally gave up and called my office land line because he couldn't reach me or my parents via cellular. I can't make or receive any cellular calls, and texts are seriously delayed, but I was able to use my office phone to call my parents (they're in the Purcell/Lexington area) with no trouble.

Prayers sent.

KFOR Weatherman just said anecdotaly that the level of damage to him seems to be about 3 times worse than the Moore tornado in 1999.

 

[dennishoddy]

This is terrible. Weather folks are saying it could be the worst in history.

just heard on the news... 3 fatalities in Moore and 15 kids unaccounted for in a school down there? Praying hard right now !

Watching KFOR, each report seems to get worse, some kids may still be trapped.

My aunt lives south of I-240 and Sante Fe and a cousin off of Anderson Rd and 154th. Can't get phone service to either. News pics of the area look BAD. Prayers out to all in Moore.
