Moore, OK just got devastated again. It appears to be worse than May 3, 1999. Helicopter footage shows 2 elementary schools flattened. No word yet if there were still students in the building.

Some twitter chatter said early on there were people trapped in one of the schools. Later on, people were tweeting that kids were still there, FWIW.

Just heard on OKC TV from someone on the scene interviewing and individual who was pulling 3rd graders from the rubble of one of the schools. One of the schools sent out an email at 2:45 that they were keeping kids there due to the weather and would only release them to parents.

The devastation is unbelievable. Add together 1999, Andover and Joplin, and it's still going to be less than this tragedy. I'm watching it, and I can't believe it's real.

[RoyalShock]

All the kids at the school directly hit are accounted for.

Do you know which school @RoyalShock:? I am hearing (and watching) first responders digging through rubble at a school.

[McShocker]

All the kids at the school directly hit are accounted for.

There were 2 schools directly hit. One of them has all students accounted for. The other is likely to have many, many casualties.

[McShocker]

Briarwood Elementary has all accounted for, Plaza Towers is going to be very sad.

KFOR reporting that it's no longer a search and rescue but now just a recovery. Up to 2 dozen children may be dead there.


May God's love shine on every one of those souls.

And may He provide strength to all those parents who are experiencing the worst possible grief right now.
