this is flat out insane, the power of mother nature is unimaginable, until you see what she really can do...
they are pulling 3rd graders out of a school near OKC right now as well they have said, the kids were in the school when it was flattened, yesterday was bad, but that one that happened a bit ago, unbelievable, they have continously told people to get underground because you will not survive these storms, but the majority of people in OK dont have basements or storm shelters because of how hard the soil is and requires blasting to make them, so they just build slabs and put a house up... they said it was likely a F-4, but it could have been an F-5....
i can only imagine what these people are going through....
if any of you have family over in OK, Iowa ect i would call them... i tried to contact my aunt in North Liberty Iowa but no dice, she was in a warning zone last night but im not sure if anything major happened there..... crazy situation..

wow.... ![](http://i432.photobucket.com/albums/qq48/nateb1000/OKC_zpsd9484e5f.jpg) ![](http://i432.photobucket.com/albums/qq48/nateb1000/OKC2_zps89ff99ac.jpg) ![](http://i432.photobucket.com/albums/qq48/nateb1000/OKC3_zps50138498.jpg) they have been upping and upping it, was 166-200 MPH now they are saying over 200 MPH winds, the one in 99 had winds of over 300 MPH and damaged 8000 homes... this one, 3500-4000 homes have been flattened... they said: F-1 you will lose shingles off your roof F-2 you will lose all your shingles and your gutters and anything else thats loose.. F-3, the plywood will be sucked off the roof, and the trusses will be ripped apart as well... F-4 outer walls will be destroyed, but buildings would still remain standing for the most part, just without roofs and such, just a wall here, bathroom there, bedroom here ect... F-5, nothing left..

My cousins both live in Joplin. A block away from Paulies house the tornado destroyed the whole neighborhood. He and his wife put the kids in a closet and propped themselves outside the door. How terrifying that must have been for them. Wes my other cousin said his in laws house was destroyed . He was a half mile from the wreckage. That [Bleeeeep!] would make me up and move in a hurry.

That time lapse is amazing. Little dog almost brought a tear. It's cool the old lady's friend made it.

Kevin Durant donated 1 million dollars to the people affected by the tornado in OKC... good job Kev http://www.foxsportsnorth.com/fox-sports...amp;feedID=3543i talked to my aunt last night, they had a couple small ones touch down for a few seconds but shes OK and says its pretty scary there right now, but they are alright... i was watching last night and they were showing projected paths of "probable" storms that could happen, and shes right in the line of fire... you couldnt pay me to live in that area...

After seeing the ol' lady and her pooch, I've come to the conclusion that "allergy season" is officially here. Kleenex needed stat!
Geez...that was heartbreaking and "wonderful" (for lack of a better word)....all at the same time.
Hey News Lady Person without a Soul.....how's about you jump right in there and help out a bit without having to be begged? PLZ THNX! JFC...some people!

huge one is heading directly to OKC right now... they are saying wide spread damage and mass casualties are "likely"... 1000 people have been evacuated and told to shelter in a pipe under the airport, im assuming thats a culvert pipe...
this one looks like its gonna be a bad situation...
