The American Red Cross has set up shelters in various communities. You can donate to the Red Cross Disaster Relief fund here, and the organization also suggests giving blood at your local hospital or blood bank.
If you want to send a $10 donation to the Disaster Relief fund via text message, you can do so by texting the word REDCROSS to 90999. As in the case with other donations via mobile, the donation will show up on your wireless bill, or be deducted from your balance if you have a prepaid phone. You need to be 18 or older, or have parental permission, to donate this way. (If you change your mind, text the word STOP to 90999.)
Good advice my Friend.
Prayer is always good, but that does not alleviate us from what we each must do from our own resources.
Let us all pray or offer thoughts of condolences, but lets us also remember that often the answer to our prayers begins with what we each can do with our hands.
Just hard a rumor that the second elementary school that was hit has 25 fatalities.......this tornado was wider, probably more powerful, and quicker than the Joplin tornado. In 1999 Moore had a similar event......a lot of the same houses got hit. But Moore had 20-30 minutes warning last time....still 48 people died. Moore is larger now, has a lot more people, but this time they had less than 8 minutes warning. the death toll is going to climb rapidly.
I remember that tornado Goodpasture. I had my bedroom radio on KOMA (now KOKC) until 11p.m. that night listening to the reports (that big 50,000 watt booming signal goes across mountain ranges) I'd already made plans on making a trip through there to visit friends in the Ardmore area and also Dallas. I went through OKC and Moore a week or so after the tornado hit. The damage was unreal. Just unreal.
A couple posters have made a good point regarding help. Donate if you can to your area Red Cross and your Salvation Army.
I am just floored by the intensity of the storms over the last couple days in the Sooner state. And tomorrow looks to be another rough day.
Thoughts and prayers to the good folks down there.
Give money and/or give blood, as I'm sure they will both be needed.

We all pray for those in this tragic devastation in Moore,Ok. and surrounding areas, we pray for the victims, and parents and children that have become victims. It's going to take a lot of time for this town and surrounding areas to rebuild and they will need our support prayers. My wife and I have made a substantial donation to the American Red Cross to help in that effort and I encourage all that can to do the same, these are our families, our human family and we should whenever possible help as much as we can.wa-do.

I don't know that woman. Is she supposed to be someone of importance?
She doesn't seem worthy of my Google time.
