Hey everyone.
I'm not sure how many users we have here who are in Oklahoma, but I'm sure just about everyone across the nation has heard what has happen in my state yesterday. I'm fine, the tornado was about 25 miles SE of where I live. My city just got heavy rain and hail. But the story in Moore is sad and absolutely devastating. It's the strongest tornado in the state's history, and they're saying possibly in the world's history. Here are just a few links of pictures and articles about what happened.

Needless to say, Oklahoma is in need of some serious help. If any of you are able, please please please donate! They're already estimating it's going to be over $1 Billion in damages.

I'm just so happy to know you're okay. Take care of yourself.
I live in Texas and we got the tail end of this storm system. Glad you are okay! I hope any other users we have from that area post and let us know they are okay as well 
I don't have internet or cable at my apartment right now, and I just heard about what happened. I am so sorry for what happened to you guys down there - I live in east-central Kansas, and a tornado spawned about a mile from where I live saturday or sunday. A little one, nothing like what happened down in Moor (sp?), but I think I might scrape together some spare cash or food and send it down there. At the very least, it's reassuring that you're alright.
If there's anything we can do besides just donating money, don't hesitate to tell us.
