Tornadoes all over Oklahoma right now! - 05-10-2010, 08:21 PM


We just got out of our cellar and have heard/seen pics of tornadoes that have struck many, many towns tonight with more to come. Over 35,000 people are without power already. Devastating pics on the news right now of Norman, Moore, OKC, etc. Keep us in your prayers folks.

I was stationed at Altus OK for about six years and remember well the spring times there. Hope everybody makes it through these alright, I was hearing about them on the news just a little while ago.

Be careful up there! My boyfriend just drove through Ardmore before all the tornadoes hit, I'm happy he's heading away from all that (left Moore to Arlington for a gig).

I hope all this material damage and no lives lost, I'll be praying.

Well, I've got conflicting reports on what it is doing today. One story I read is calling for more severe weather today, but my client yesterday and weather underground says partly cloudy with a 20% of storms.

Lol, Wil! Well, it's an engagement, so none of that, plus, I would feel bad exploiting the damage in that way (believe it or not) since there were fatalities. Wow, guess my pj days are gone...how sad!

Looks like five people were killed but many more are critical in the Norman hospital. Don't know what the roads would be like, Leslie. Might be difficult getting anywhere near there today.

Thanks, Charrie! Glad you are ok. Spoke to my client, and they are fine. They didn't act like there was much damage there, and we are still on for our shoot. I know the university didn't get much damage.
