Sign up for our Weekly Web 2.0 Newsletter here!Our thoughts and prayers are will the families who lost loved ones in the tornadoes last night in Lone Grove, OK, and with those who suffered the loss of and damage to their homes in the Edmond area and all over the Oklahoma City and Lawton areas.

Other parts of the state were spared the brunt of the tornado damage, but many folks are dealing with severe flooding problems, and our thoughts and prayers are with them, as well.

Thank you to the citizen reporters who kept us updated throughout the evening using Twitter, and the #OKStorms hashtag to keep fellow Oklahomans in-the-know at least 5-10 minutes ahead of the major news outlets about shelters opening, schools closing, power outages, road/highways closing, damage reports, photos, weather service warnings/watches, “street-level” weather, and their own personal stories.

For more information about using Twitter Hashtags see How to Twitter, and #hastags and What to Do with Them.

Speak Your Mind


This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.
