Yep - the storm that hit Moore was headed our way, but veered off to the south just before getting to our town.

I had a meeting in OKC this morning, so I drove over to Moore afterward. Couldn't get closer than a mile to the school. It's like a warzone there. Still an ominous storm over the town. Houses leveled on one side of the street and untouched on the other where I was at. Crazy.

Thanks Doc. The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) is collecting donations for the relief at the link below. 100% of money donated will go straight to the relief efforts. When you visit their webpage, there is a link on the homepage for Tornado Response. http://www.umcor.org I'm sure there are other good agencies collecting money, but I know this one is reputable and you don't have to worry about them taking part of the donation for overhead like administrators salaries or anything else.
