Hopefully all of our members in Oklahoma are OK? Jackie, Lynn?

I posted this on Team Chevelle.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I just got through texting with Jacquie (they have no TV or cell service, just the availability to text). She's fine, the tornado passed 2 miles north. She said it was so big, she didn't even realize it was a tornado at first!
One of my relatives lives in the Moore neighborhood that took the direct hit. Their house is completely gone. Luckily, no one was at home.
I will keep people updated with what I hear... </div></div>
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Jacquie's husband Glenn and daughter are okay as well. Daughter lives about 30 miles south. Glenn is trying to find his way home...can't go anywhere. Traffic is at at standstill. </div></div>
And lastly, where the tornado first touched down is REALLY close to where they live.
I am glad that my relatives weren't home.
I just responded to a pm.
Here is my response:
Sad day. I fear lots of dead young ones before this is over. Approx 30 square miles of destruction.
Last night's tornado missed our house by about 1/4 mile. Wasn't much damage here in Edmond. Most happened as it tracked east. We were out of power for about 9 hours, but I cranked up the generator, so we were fine. We also have a safe room, so were in no physical danger.
We are watching the grandkids today (my son in in England right now) and I decided to stay home. We watched it unfold live, and couldn't believe the destruction.
Just heard from my cousin. Missed her son's house by one block. I have several friends in Moore, but so far, am unable to contact them. Most communications are out.
Thanks for the concern. Glad to hear Jacquie & Glenn are OK.

Life's problems we all face seem miniscule to what these people are facing. I can't even imagine losing family members, let alone my house etc .

The latest from Jacquie did not sound good when I checked on her friend's kids. MANY prayers are being sent to everyone there.
