It's been one hell of a day. I had something else I was going to blog about, but the weather altered my plans. I have friends in the area of Oklahoma hit hardest by the tornadoes and so far, a couple have reported that they are okay. The others haven't been on Facebook yet.
Facebook is actually pretty useful during times like this. People can post stuff about missing family members and get the word out when people have been found. People can post about where shelter can be found and how to get there. I've even seen some posts about what people need in various areas. For instance, in Moore, they're asking for people with horse trailers to come up and try to help locate and shelter their horses.
You know, in ways like that, Facebook is actually better than the news stations. They can get information out in a less annoying way, because you're not having to hear cheesy voice. People can make requests and, as much as people may not think it's true, having someone type that they are glad you're safe can make you feel very, very loved.
