More than 90 people including at least 20 children killed. Dreadful news.

Just terrible--unfortunately USA is prone to tornados, but this sounds like one of the worst they have had.

This is shocking, we are so sorry for those people who have lost their homes and our thoughts go out to all those families who are suffering and have lost h loved ones. :cry:

The Oklahoma Tornedo was really devastating and widespread.....but the casualties have been reduced to 37 so far......
but nearly 200 persons in the hospital.....Many teachers shielded their students with their bodies to save many of them....
and over 2400 homes were destroyed or heavily damaged!

Yes - another terrible tragedy. We moan about our weather but we don't get things like that, it must be awful to be caught up in that - there's nothing you can do.
