6. Now saying they don't know if the kids were there but damn

20. Plaza Towers enrollment is 440 kids K-6

trying to find out if children were still there or not, and did school have a basement or shelter?. Earlier I heard kids dismissal would be delayed cuz of storm. No one seems to know. Reporters asking parents to call the station and say of kids are home or not.
Chaos.

24. 15 or more kids are trapped under the rubble of the school

and the entire area a mile square is severely damaged, says reporter on the ground.

Heartbreaking.

19. According to someone on the news there the school had a cellar

Which is where they are saying they are trapped by debris (no links,just listening online via cbs)

I hope they had time to get down in those shelters!!!
