Today's tornado that hit Moore, Oklahoma was devastating. Bodies are still being pulled out of the rubble. Only two fatalities was reported in yesterday's tornado that destroyed a neighborhood near Shawnee. Today two dozen third-graders are feared to be dead at Plaza Towers Elementary School in Moore. Seven schoolkids were found dead in pool of water. Total confirmed storm deaths as of 8:30 tonight are now at 51. They
are classifying today's tornado as an EF-5 and has done as much damage as the
one that hit Joplin, MO 2 years ago.
The news
station showed the track of today's Moore tornado. Had it continued another 10
miles, it would of hit us. Yesterday's tornado pasted just a couple miles
south of us.
UPDATE: After the dust settled, the number of fatalities were corrected to 24, with 9 of those being children, in Monday's storm. Total destruction is estimated at $2 billion being the most expensive tornado damage in US history to date.
