Amy Farrah Fowler Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Devastation my mind can't quite wrap around. I can't even begin to comprehend it. So sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inthend Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 The pictures are terrible. Last I heard was 4 confirmed dead. But from what I saw that could easily go higher. Praying relief gets to them quickly.Our local newsman said that this one took nearly the exact same path as the one in , I think 1999, that was the strongest tornado ever recorded with wind speeds est at 301mph.Which makes it the highest wind speeds ever recorded on earth.

Mara Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Death toll is at 51 right now. The footage I've seen of the area is unbelievable - it looks like someone tried to bomb Oklahoma City off the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CygnusGal Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Thankfully, the death toll has decreased. Although any loss of life is tragic, it is especially heartbreaking when children are involved. My thoughts and prayers are with all those effected. :( The footage is astounding. I saw this video yesterday of the tornado forming. I was not surprised it was reclassified as EF-5 given the footage and the destruction it caused. Devastating. from http://newswatch.nat...tornado-videos/ http://youtu.be/XMF22_MEMJU http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-shocked016.gifEdit to correct spelling Edited May 23, 2013 by CygnusGal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Wow. That guy was either really brave, or extremely stupid. I would have gotten out of there as fast as I could if I'd seen that coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
