very dangerous

I have a friend who lives in the area... He is on Facebook saying it's pretty bad there.

The damage in that video is pretty insane.. Reminds me of the damage that happened from Hurricane Andrew. I'll be surprised if there aren't 100 or more killed, by looking at that damage.

edit..

Some live coverage..

watch live sweden race riot, they attackt he fireman and stole the hose lol

Used to live in Oklahoma and dealt with this every spring. I've been in an F3 and that was scary as hell but rode that out in a gas station bathroom.

There's nothing you can do for an F5 tornado though; you're pretty much fucked if you don't have an underground shelter.

first two confirmed dead

I still have family there but they live on the opposite side of town so they're okay but streaming the local news in OKC it sounds like 10-20 or so kids in that elementary school died. Fucking awful.

All towns should have shelters and prepare for the worst. You never know when it will hit, but when it does it takes you by surprise.

I always said "it could never happen here" but it did. A tanker train full of propane caught fire, and when they explode it can flatten several square miles. They evacuated half the town and people had no where to go - all of the local hotels filled up quickly. Hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, fires... Be prepared!

yeah its at 10 now

dont worry oklahoma members of congress who REPEATEDLY BLOCKED disaster aid to other parts of the country are already BEGGING the fed govt for money, fucking socialists.

this is very typical...red state FREELOADERS leeching off productive value adding americans from the east/west coasts

Not to mention this is the 5th time this town has been hit in 15 years. Maybe God does hate Christians.

Hate to be political but it's true. OK is probably the reddest state in the country yet they're the first in line with their tin cups out begging for some of that federal cash when it suits them.

They will get their FEMA aid as they should and then the very next week they'll cry to cut FEMA funding after they have theirs.

nah this town was built where tornadoes frequent yearly. you would think there would be some kind of warnings before. there are more and more people and towns are being built in the area where tornadoes would come but nobody lived in that area. there is a documentary on it. damn toll is 37 now

oh damn that's huge tornado :( :( :(

Why anybody lives there is beyond me.

News just said 50 plus people dead. What a way to go.

could you imagine living from paycheck to paycheck and this shit happens with kids? and god forbid one was killed in those schools. :( :helpme

do you recall the name of that doc or some search terms to try to locatre it? i'd be interested in watching it. :thumbsup

Shit happens everywhere. I lived in Japan for while where at any moment with zero notice there could be a killer earthquake that destroys the city.

That's nature, what can you do?

ill try to find it

Facing death in a gas station bathroom. That's about as fucked up as it gets.

hey thanks, no worries if you don't,

i came up with a bunch of tornado docs biut not seemed like that one.

my brother called and said some people hid in the 7-11 freezer and it killed them :helpme

As many as 20 kids dead :(

So horrible

i think it was frontline on pbs

Damn - That's a huge beast - Lets hope the figure stops going up - I can't imagine seeing that coming towards me - I think I would die of fright...

I dont think the sirens went off... In a video I watched I only heard the sirens after the tornado was in the town.. Going to go watch it again

They go on and off. It's not a constant blast for hours.
Thing is, they are so trigger happy on those sirens that there's a bit of a "cried wolf" scenario. They turn them on if there's a tornado 20 miles away so people don't always take them seriously.

Not till 1:19 into the video do you even hear the warnings

Shush ---- Unless you live in Oklahoma , Kansas, a few others.....

I spent the first 28 years of my life in Oklahoma. I know how it is very well.

idiot kids :disgust those things shift real fast

Earthquakes, Drought, Floods, Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Wild Fires, Gangs, <--- LoL

Yeah, Why anyone lives in any of those states with any of those.....

Yep. and the streets and side roads are Lined with storm chasers these days.

While Tornadoes typically go North East, smaller ones tend to dance around, and the debris flying at 200MPH is what kills injures lots of people.

They even have Tour vans that people pay hundreds to thousands a week to ride around in.. Talk about a high profile vehicle..

It is only going to take one to jump and wipe out all these people to get this crazy fad to stop...

91 dead now - Shit - Is this the worst ever?

im reading 51

CNN just announced another 40 on air...

Those poor people, may may find their missing loved ones unharmed.

No.
The Joplin,Missouri tornado took 161 people.
Joplin is about 2-3 hours north of Moore/Oklahoma City.

Funny thing is sooooo many people say andrew was not that bad and not as devastating as it really was. Lots of truths have been covered about that storm.
