CNN just reported that the rescue at one of the schools, Plaza Tower, is now a search and recovery, not a search and rescue. Potentially 24 deaths.

Oh my God.

The ABC station had the four remaining kids from the other elementary school ready to go to their parents. One little boy in second grade said he thought his house was probably gone because the storm came in behind it. Then he said if his parents were still alive... So sad to see such a young boy using those words.

Sending my prayers to the loved ones of those that perished from the tornadoes in Oklahoma. Still a lot of missing children.

Not a swimming pool. Reports state that they were found at the bottom of debris pile in a pool of water from the rainstorm that accompanied the tornado.

Latest fatality count has risen to 51... so very, very, tragic all the way around. Prayers to all.
