This is the second time my mom and stepdad have been in a tornado in OKC!! I came home to a message from my grandmother "Mom and stepdad are OK, but they haven't made it home yet, so they don't know if they still have a home or not." GEEZ!!!
They heard on the radio/TV where it touched down, which was maybe 1/2 mile from their neighborhood. Luckily it missed their neighborhood, but that was the second close call (same thing happened in 1999--it was about 1/2 mile from their apartment).
I finally reached my mom...house is fine, Moore is not. Last I heard, the GM plant was damaged and was burning (around 7pm). Mom said it took the same path as 1999, but wasn't as wide or as powerful a tornado. I can't imagine being one of the few people who rebuilt their homes on the same lot only to be hit again. . .
I'm praying for everyone affected. The really interesting thing is that whenever there is a tornado warning in the area, one of the news stations puts a storm chaser in a HELICOPTER and they fly around and get footage of the tornado FROM THE AIR as it happens. It makes for some amazing video, but DAMN!!
I hope everyone else stays safe!
