After going through a tornado last year that destroyed my hometown of Dexter, Michigan, I am sending all my thoughts and prayers to the people of Oklahoma. I know that the storms are not over and the next few days will be worse than today. Please be safe and God bless.

Just now watching the devastation on TV. Unbelievable destruction!

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected as well.

......the children....... The little souls who will never fulfill their achievements in life. One elementary school was flattened. The death toll is up to 51 from the last I heard.....

Our prayers go out to the people who were affected by the terrible storms in Oklahoma. We especially remember those who lost their lives and the families who grieve for them tonight. frown

This is just unfathomable. I cannot even begin to understand what it must be like to have been in Moore today, in 2003, or 1999.

The KFOR TV website has a list of places to make donations.

Watching the news this morning, it's almost impossible to absorb this whole situation.

Oklahoma, you and all of yours are in my thoughts and prayers.

I was watching the news while it was coming. They said that you would not survive above ground.

I know of nowhere to get underground.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Pray for the strength and healing of the survivors and for those living who have lost loved ones. Those that have passed are now free from the pain of this life and are in a much better place. Grace and Peace to all who suffer!

Dave,

How difficult would it be to build a storm shelter? Are basements the exception rather than the rule in your area? Just wondering.


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Ok. has hard rock that is close to the surface of the ground. It is nearly impossible to build a basement there.

Very rare in Dallas.
One of the first basements I ever
saw was when I married a girl in Iowa.
And those are there for the pipes aren't they Cecil?

Those bars down in the basement are nice for man-caves!

We built a basement in our current house with a "safe" room in the basement for this specific reason. The safe room is made of concrete with a metal door and a foot thick concrete top.

A local TV station has been accepting donations since 7 pm last night. At one time, the line was backed up for over a mile and half. More than a gracious donation of supplies and volunteer efforts.

Numerous news stories of strangers helping strangers in the direct aftermath. Joplin was reported to be sending help last night as they experienced a similar event. Governor Perry has offered services to us also.

Some good news: Found 101 people alive overnight.

At this time, I must say a proud to be an Okie at this current time.

Thank you all for your prayers.

Time to start using dynamite at least for school stom shelters. After two F4's or F5's taking nearly the same path It's say it's time. Surely if we can build a blast proof embassy the size of the Vatican in Iraq we can build a few underground storm shelters for our precious children.

Amen to the prayers for those in Oklahoma. Texas went through a slight mile wide hit-miss scenarios earlier. We are smacked in tornado alley season now. Prayers to all those who are facing about to go through rough time. With the drought seasons we've been experiencing, the tornadoes are not going to be less. Warm and cool air cells are generating larger and larger monstrous tornadoes as time progresses.

Lots of houses in Oklahoma have basements that leak. Ours does not leak as it was built based on a French drain system with a foot of gravel underneath to hold water and two sump pumps to remove this water as quickly as possible.

I think all concrete and block basements leak at some point don't they as they develop cracks? Conversely my log home has a wood foundation with gravel sidewalls and a drain system probably similar to jludwig, and it's stayed dry as a bone since we built it in 94.' I have heavy clay soil too.

I believe the wood is impregnated with something.
