Oklahoma Storms

[coreyw87]

Our area doesn't traditionally have a lot of trouble with tornado's but it does happen several years ago two trailer parks were devastated by tornado's and last year on the road around from my mother's house huge, really huge oak trees were just pulled up by the roots.  Yes, pray for all these folks.

My husband and I live in Oklahoma City, and he is a campus police officer at a nearby college. After a request for all available Law Enforcement to assist, my husband went to Moore to help out today. He was placed on a Strike team in the heaviest hit area of Moore. The things he have saw today broke his heart beyond belief. He am still trying to process everything. He met some people with heartbreaking stories as well as stories of heroism. The thing that sticks out the most was everyone's will to go on. These people are amazing, and make us proud to be Oklahomans.
He told me that today was most certainly his hardest day as a Police Officer.
Thank you to everyone who has donated food, water, and everything else, as my husband can tell you first hand it is greatly appreciated and needed.

I don't understand why state or federal law doesn't require basements built on every school site that's in a tornado area?

I don't understand why they build schools and houses in tornado areas??? I know if I lived in Moore, OK I would be packing my U-Haul (if there was anything left to pack).

our prayers go out to all in that awful storm and my heart breaks on the loss of the children and the rest who have passed because of it. Grateful thanks to all of those who are putting themselves in harms way to help. They are heros.

Why do people live in earthquake areas or hurricane areas?
You just have to pick and choose what you want to live with. Nowhere is free of natural disasters.

This was so sad and I'm so sorry for the lives and homes lost.  It is so terrible to see all the damage done by this devastating storm.

Just seeing a picture tells you the complete story, praying for all of them and their families it is tragic

I have some friends that live about and hour away from  all this.  I was so glad that it didn't happen to them.  I feel really bad for all of the families there.  I have said many prayers for all of them. Loosing a home is nothing, they can replace that, but you can not replace a family member.   So Sad

Still praying for all the people that are affected by the storm. God bless you all.
