    So devastating. Thoughts and condolences to victims' family.

    Hard to believe one town can be leveled twice like that in such a short time period.

    Didnt know that city had been hit before, wow. The damage is really shocking with what appears to be some brick and metal framed buildings leveled to the ground. I dont recall there ever being so many fatalities from one twister. They are expecting to find another 40 dead. My heart and prayers go out to all in that community.

    A lot of my heart is in OKC. I spent a lot of time there on business -- a period that included the Murrah Building terrorist attack and the 1999 tornado. It is a fun town filled with wonderful people and the most frightening weather I've ever experienced. This could be the third of those three events where people I care about have suffered losses. So sad.

    I cannot fathom the enormity of that storm. My prayers go out to OKC.

    The power of a tornado is scary-amazing. I drove through Xenia Ohio in 1974 after it was hit by a tornado. I'll never forget the sight of three adjacent houses -- the first house looked just fine, the next house had a hole in the roof, and the house next to that was a pile of rubble.

    Well, thanks to our friends at Westboro Baptist Church, we now know that God sent the tornado to OKC because Kevin Durant of the Thunder praised Jason Collins for coming out as an NBA player. I was disgusted to see that the senile bastard who is the pastor of that church will be succeeded by his equally hateful son who posted the diatribe. :angry-banghead:

    Durant, meanwhile, has donated $1million to the rescue/recovery effort. :greetings-clappingorange: :greetings-clappingyellow: :greetings-clapyellow:

    Well, I think only his son could take over since the WBC is just one family? Amazing how publicity this group of misfits get by acting like jackasses. *Flips on TV* Oh, I see now.

    Awesome Durant!!!!

    Kind of hard to ignore people who picket military funerals.
