Right now the latest is 75 children trapped in an elementary school whose safe room collapsed on them.

Hit Moore which is about 10 miles s of Ok city..... I guess there's cars on top of that elementary school. They're still getting everyone out. It was at least 1 mile wide. An EF4 at the moment, unless it gets upgraded.. Prayers to everyone in that whole area......

50 + have passed away according to NBC. Just a very sad day down in OK.

What a horrific situation. Just watched some news coverage and the extent of destruction is incomprehensible. Entire neighborhoods are gone. Two schools completely destroyed. Watching that make one feel very helpless.

Glad to hear the death toll has come down (though not the end of the story they say). The Okies that I've heard interviewed today have sounded VERY upbeat. Hats off to 'em!

Wasn't that amazing! Those guys down there basically said we'll cleanup, rebuild and move on. The Mayor was very upbeat too, although showing emotions at times. I mean, how couldn't he..... What a strong group of people in OK.........
