my friend teaches at Univ of OK in Norman, so I figure she has a lot on her mind. I am comfortable waiting for awhile, but I will start calling the university if I don't hear in 1-2 days.

That's where my friends in OK teach, too. They've been on the road, so I don't know if they were flying or driving back from out West. I'm hoping they check in soon.

having happies over ita's outfit.

LeN, my friends are OK, still travelling, and their house should be fine, knock wood. Hope you hear from your Norman friend soon.

One friend checked in. Her people are all safe, but her childhood home is gone.

And my grandmother wouldn't think to check in, but she did just send me a silly email with pictures of kids & animals.

I am so relieved. My friend checked in. her husband works 2 miles away from touchdown. I think she is really overwhelmed right now - and she is a quite sensitive sort. I think I'll check in with her again in a week or 2.

If anyone hears of good charities in OK for people to donate, can you post here? I can check them out at the charity checker, but I prefer to donate to local agencies and plan to do so in 2-4 weeks when they still need $$ but after initial interest has likely gone away.

So scary to hear all the OK news! I'm glad buffistae and their peeps are doing alright.

Wow, I took a 24 hour break from the Internet mostly to clean, and horrible things happen and I do not hear about them. My thoughts are with the OK people.

I have been cleaning for about 22 of the past 24 hours for in inspection of my apartment. It is a city inspection tomorrow, but landlords are coming at 9am to check.

How early is too early to vacuum? Or is it better to not vacuum, and leave the vacuum out like I tried? I still have to wash the kitchen floor and get ready for work.

Getting a ride to the mechanic's this am. Next up, connect with broker and dealer.
