The same exact thing happened on May 3rd, 1999. That was different though. The tornado back then that hit OK city is the strongest tornado ever recorded in the world. Winds hit 318 miles an hour. And now almost exactly 14 years later, a 250 mile an hour tornado hit the same city dead on. I am NEVER living anywhere in tornado alley meaning South Dakota, SW Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and most of texas. Why would anyone live in this city? I mean they have awful winters and tornadic warm seasons... wtf.

This is just devasting. 51 confirmed dead so far, many of them elemenatry kids.
I have heard that some of the children that were thought to be in school may have climbed out prior to rescuers getting there so the death toll MAY go down on those children.
I can't imagine what those poor people are going through.

Why were students at school anyway? If your that a tornado is forming in your are shouldn't that mean that school is automatically canceled? Where were the warnings? R.I.P

There was an hour warning from when the first cloud formed to when it hit. Can't do alot when something is bearing down on you at 250 miles an hour...

They had an hour warning, is it really that hard to evacuate the schools with that much time?

It was an hour when the tornado hit. Moore had 26 minutes since it changes course from SW Oklahoma City. That isn't alot.

Someone who means a lot to me lives right in that area and I'm worried sick. I don't know if I have any way to contact her, though.

Tt was bad and big tornado. It sounds like the number killed is not as high as first thought. But it is still bad.
