Lots of family in Midwest City OK. No contact. Send good thoughts their way...

[cherokeeprogressive]

I hate the not knowing the most. They're tough though...

[Cooley Hurd]

1. Fortunately, Midwest City is east of where the storm is now...

Nonetheless, every good vibe I have is headed out to OK (I lived in Tulsa for a spell, so I have a personal connection to this as well).

3. Good thoughts on the way - I went through this in Michigan, on Tuesday

Tornados heading towards my sister and mother, and I was a wreck with worry. Fortunately, they were both spared damage. Hope everyone in you family stays safe.

4. Thoughts headed that way

My brother in law lives in south ok City, about 10 miles from Moore.
Did I ever tell you how much I hate tornadoes. I HATE TORNADOES

12. They've got mine.

I used to live in Midwest City, back when my biggest concern was to avoid being beaten up by Doyle Daffron. Heck, I even got a "Good Citizenship" award from Jarman Jr. High (my english teacher was as surprised as I was, as I recall).

15. My "Family Home" is about 1/4 mile south of the end of the runway at Tinker.

8520 NE 16th Street. I lived in Choctaw for a while...

[txwhitedove]

24. Monroney Jr. High here, '62-'64, even though we lived south of 15th by the Catholic church/school.

I know all the streets and towns named here tonight. Family all over Oklahoma, but close family all deceased. My heart really goes out to all going through these tornadoes.

[Mortos]

13. Everything is fine here

I live 15 miles east of Midwest City. The weather reporters lost their freaking minds and panicked a bunch of people. There is very little damage reported except downed trees, power lines and some flipped semis and cars. Unfortunately, a woman and child were killed in a car on I-40 west of OKC. So far that is the only fatalities I have heard of and I haven't heard of any damage in Midwest City at all.

18. Good to hear.

Keep those eyes on the sky.

14. My DU Friends are My Family. Your good thoughts are like a warm blanket on a cold night...

Family from OKC, Midwest City, Choctaw, Moore, and Norman have all checked in. Everyone seems to be OK.

I lived in Choctaw for a while, and never understood why I could hear my Dad going WOW from the front porch in the middle of the night during a vicious thunderstorm...

Y'all are BITCHIN' and I'm POSITIVE your good thoughts made a difference one way or another...

[Behind the Aegis]

22. Glad to hear all is well.

My partner's parents are in OKC and they just called. So you know, parts of OK have been having problems with cell phone reception. The storm here (NE OK) has started to subsided, just some rain and lightening, a bit of wind, but for Oklahoma, that is normal.

I am happy you were able to reach everyone.

[cherokeeprogressive]

16. How cool are my DU Friends? As cool as the other side of the pillow...

I fucking love you.

Okay, I've been drinking. I was already drunk when the bartender turned the TV to the Weather Channel. I'm home now. My phone's been ringing off the hook... my Sister's been calling every time someone from OK checks in.

I fucking LOVE YOU.

[tandot]

20. I had a couple of shots of Ouzo while watching that whole clusterfuck unfold

My sister and her family are alright. She was posting on FB while she was in the shelter. They live in Jones and it missed them

[a la izquierda]

17. Good vibes to your family.

We have friends and family in Moore, OKC, Norman, and the Tulsa area. We only moved out of the area last year. The not knowing is very stressful.
