Our Prayers for Tornado hit area's

Our hearts and prayers go out to all those hurt by the storms, god bless you and give you courage to continue..we are all thinking of you...
More storms are coming please take heed to all warnings and seek out shelter...

Looking at the video right now on the news...It is devastating!!!

The town they are focusing on is Moore, Oklahoma.

I am definitely praying for everyone...this is going to have a high fatality rate unfortunately as the area looks like Joplin did back in 2011..

Sending prayers for all those affected.

I agree. My thoughts and prayers with those affected by these terrible storms. Here in SC, we been spared so far this spring, hope it stays that way.

the news there gets worse by the hour, 51 dead, 20 are children, and many more missing and presumed dead. OK is my home state, as I was born in Tulsa. They say even more dangerous storms may develop in the area tomorrow, I hope and pray that doesn't happen.

David, Michael and I were just talking about this a few nights before when his search for ATVs took him into OK. I lived in Miami OK and Broken Arrow for 7 years. Not far from Tulsa.

One of the reasons I moved was the Tornados.

I'm so sad to see the numbers of children that are missing and dead. They said that there were 2 elementary schools about a mile apart. They reported they had 30-40 minutes of warning and that both schools did exactly the right safety steps and every child was inside wall on floor with heads covered, remember this drill, but this tornado was at such a level it didnt matter. They said the only safety from it was underground and without the amount of warning far more fatalities would have occurred.

One survivor talked about a full grown horse actually flying around above him. I can't even imagine such a thing.

My heart aches for everyone and especially the parents still waiting to hear.

This is so devestating. I wish I could help out in some way... I've watched the video of Barbara Garcia several time (the woman that finds her dog in the rubble during an interview) and I cry every single time.

You know, we think we have problems and then something like this happens and it makes you count your blessings. I will be donating to the Red Cross or someone; it's not much but I have to do something.

Praying for all those affected. :-(

Yep Miami it is. I still have family scattered out there and my 2 children that are 2/3 Delaware retain a few acres of original land granted to their Dads family way back during the removal of tribes to OK. Those are actually in White Oak which is between Vinita and Tulsa off the great highway 66.

They have no desire to live there and we left OK in 2001. The properties of course have to remain in the family and can't be sold to non-native people outside the tribe. It really is a desolate place out there and dealing with well water and septic systems isn't either one of themselves cup of tea. Both houses are basically now run down Indian housing and would cost more to make habitable then they were ever worth.

Family is buried there so someone keeps up the property and at least they will always have it if they needed to use it.

I never got used to Oklahoma and the weather. Miami so close to Kansas that the winds blew thru there at tornado levels way too much for me. I actually had 2 of my surgeries at the Joplin hospital that was destroyed by the last big tornado up that way.

Very small world indeed.

All can help by giving to the American Red Cross, they say if you text "red cross" a $10. donation will be sent, these people will need help with water and food then shelter...
More Prayers as well...

For those who wish to help the animals you can go to Central OK Humane society /help the animals of Moore.

Also the Denver paper had a really nice list of legitimate organizations and how to make sure your money and items get to Oklahoma.

Just keep these folks in your prayers the clean up is going to be rough and they still do need help...
