Devastating..... primarily 3rd graders hanging on in the hallways to survive..... dozens..... I'm crying Looks like 24 little angels have left us.... At least 24.... if you watched the news you will notice the first responders are the locals and the school decided to keep them... don't rely on anyone to keep your children safe. The school could of let the kids go but kept them (for clarification) Kudos to the teachers who evacuated the other classes to the church. WHY THE HELL were the 3rd graders not evacuated also ???!!!

My grandson is a third-grader. My heart is breaking for so many innocent kids lost - I spent the day at his Field Day celebration last Friday here in Midland. I can't imagine losing so many kids that age all at once. Such unspeakable pain. I can't stop crying. And the tornadoes and severe storms just keep popping up!!!

Anonymous Coward User ID: 40178182 United States 05/20/2013 08:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's not unusual for areas surrounding these storms and in these storms to get 4-5 inches of rain per hour. I know because I dodged this tornado and found that the entire city was flooded, with the exception of elevated highways. I imagine they probably were in a small basement or room recessed into the ground a bit. They were probably trapped by falling debris and pinned to the floor, which held all that rain. |
