This is the guy that lives in Moore correct? It's hard seeing your hometown destroyed again.

Sadly those things don't help when the building is completely demolished.
Fair enough. I thought there were warnings on this a day or so ago but I'm guessing they weren't predicting the size that happened.

The only warning you get that early is the conditions will be favorable for potential tornados. The risk area today was the whole southern part of the state. That's a big area.
They could say it and nothing happens bc the dry lines moves elsewhere or a cold front comes through ... Or the conditions could be favorable and today happens ... That's pretty much how it goes...

A teacher at Briarwood Elementary says as far as he knows, everyone that was at the school is OK.

Just heard that 24 teachers and students still missing at the elementary school. 7 confirmed dead there.The search and rescue mission is now just a recovery mission. This is horrible. Hug your families close tonight and say a word for the families in Oklahoma that are still missing their loved ones tonight.
