I just got another horrible call. My friend who I worked with, is going through it pretty bad. His youngest son and niece, were being watched by his mom(who lives in Moore,ok). His sister was also at his mother house when it hit. Frank got the news of what happened and got there asap. Only to find his sister,niece and his son, in a ditch under ruble. They have cuts and some internal harm(nothing too major). He tried to search for his mom, but he has been kicked out from the area from the fbi and national gard. Not letting anyone search for her. He was told to call the hospital every 20 min and check and even the morg and check every hour.
There is still multiple sq miles that have not even been searched.
Just goes to show, that you need to hug ur loved ones and tell them how much you love them!
Still a large amount of people missing.

During your prayer time, please remember the famility of this little girl, Sidney. She's the daughter of a friend of a friend. Parents were first told that she'd been evacuated with the rest of her 3rd grade class but that was not the case. She was later found in the rubble of one of the elementary schools.

A friend from high school has a daughter that played ball with her. Their daughter is devastated as you can imagine.

With building of new schools, they need safe rooms. It used to be schools were built with bomb shelters. With the wacko shooters and weather, safe rooms seem like a wise choice.

I have lived through many twister living in Oklahoma for over 30 years, but this one was vicious..... We were just north in OKC, glad to hear everyone is ok to this point. Lot's of work to do now. Oklahoma is tough, we will be fine.

Nothing worse than the loss of a child. I can't even imagine losing one of my boys. Prayers to all affected.

I feel as though I have not done enough to help.... I took a 53' trailer full of supplies to a church in Norman and it felt as though it was only a small drop of water in the ocean. What felt good was being able to say that I got to drive the first FedEx Express trailer load for the relief effort. I wish I was able to provide more, but being able to transport goods from Tulsa to Moore and seeing the victims first hand along with the volunteers and the tears on my face and theirs alike made what seemed like nothing at all worth every moment.
