Terrible damage from huge tornado in Moore/OKC
My family is safe, my son's home is gone, tons of damage and injuries. School's wiped out, hopefully kids were safe since they were still there.

Ooh...very sorry to hear about your boy's home. But you still have much to rejoice over, since all the family made it out safely.
Life's struggles aren't easy, but they're more bearable when loved ones survive a disaster. It's time for all the family to take inventory and count their blessings...

CJ, very sorry about your son's home. However, as has been noted, if you can escape with your life and those you love, then the loss is minimal. I truly hope they can pick up the pieces in short order and rebuild their lives out there. Sad to here.

Glad your family is safe. They're saying this one is worse than '99. Moore can't catch a break.

CJ,
Just got on board, and we are so thankful you are okay. We've been watching this horror all day on TV. News is getting very grim.
El Kabong, called, he wasn't online, and wanted to know if we had heard from you.
My son is in flight right now from Denver on way to Tulsa. Needless to say, we are very anxious.
Prayers to all of you people there.

Yeah, that is all that matters. Others weren't near as fortunate, my heart goes out to them.

cj -Was watching CNN when the tornado hit Moore Oklahoma. Thought of you and your family and am relieved that you did not suffer any injuries. Sorry to hear about you sons house. The devastation on the ground is incredible.
Hope those teachers and students at Plaza Towers elementary school survived. It looks terrible on TV.
