ATTENTION OKLAHOMA PEOPLE

[Mirshann Uuranor]

Are you okay? Please check in and let us know how you're doing.

 

 

For those that have no idea what's going on: Large Tornado Hits Moore, Oklahoma

[ThorkinBarrimore]

Well, I just got home and now we have to go to the cellar. Tornado Warning for Gans right now. Should be an interesting night.

[ThorkinBarrimore]

I have to sell my old vehicle so I hope the hail misses us. I hope everyone stays safe out there.

[Daruya]

Stay safe!

[Mirshann Uuranor]

Hunker down and stay safe, Thorkin. Let us know how things are in the morning, assuming your area has electricity/internet after the storm blows through.

[Aiel Heart]

I haven't heard from Sunshine yet, but he doesn't always get on until later in the evening anyway... *Praying hard*

[ThorkinBarrimore]

Back at the house. Two cells collided west of the horizon and they split, one going North of us and the other South of us.

The sky was pink though which made things looks weird.

[Sunrise Lord]

I'm fine.  It went north of me.

[BridMorgan]

*huggles Thork*. Glad you're safe! You too Sunny! *huggles Sunnyeven though it wasn't solicited*

[Sunrise Lord]

[nicana]

So happy you two are safe.  *hugs*

[Ryrin]

Thinking of you two and everyone else in the area.

 

This is my friends nephew's home in OK:

[Ryrin]

This is so worrisome.  Thank you for letting us know you are ok, Thor.

[ThorkinBarrimore]

No prob! The bad thing about these things is the first wave of them feed the next wave of them and so then you get

pelted with several different waves of them. And when it gets dark you can't see where they're coming from and they can

develop so quickly. I think the one that hit Moore this afternoon was an EF-5. It peeled the bark off of all the trees.

The thing that gets me is tornadoes cause so much destruction, and yet they're only air/wind.  Blows my mind. 

 

 

My mom works close to where it hit, but she's okay too.

[ThorkinBarrimore]

I know. It's crazy. The Red Cross is taking $10 donations for relief efforts by texting "Red Cross" to 90-999.

[nicana]

Are you expecting more tornadic weather today Thorkin? We are this evening.

[Sunrise Lord]

Most likely place for tornadoes today is far southern/southeastern parts of the state.  Could be bad for you, T.

[nicana]

You both stay safe. I'll do the same. Remember your safety precautions. LOL Not like they were ingrained in us since we were old enough to understand, living in tornado alley.

Isn't that the truth?

My mom works close to where it hit, but she's okay too.

What about the extended family? They all ok too? 

 

*Wraps in bubble wrap*

You are my Sunshine,

My Souvra Sunshine...

NO TAKE MY SUNSHINE AWAY *glares at the tornados and tethers Sunshine down*

 

 

 

 

Offspin but still related: I love how in times like this we really get to see the good side of people. All of the first responders going out, everyone reaching across miles to help and pray for each other... Plus hearing stories about teachers who threw themselves over their students, and those who bear hugged their kids upon finding out they were alive. Imagine being not far away in the rubble and not knowing if the students that you'd been teaching earlier that day were somewhere near you, possibly gone. "The candle shines brighter in a darkened room"

[nicana]

I love how things like this bring out the good in people too Heart. What is sad is that it takes the bad times for it to happen.

Thanks for sharing that, Thorkin.

I'm glad you guys are safe. Your mom too, Sun.
