Amen.
In the wake of the devastating and deadly tornado that hit Moore, Okla., yesterday, citizens are using the power of social media to help and to locate missing loved ones.

Indeed.
People are using both #OPOK for information and #OKMissing to help reunite families, friends and loved ones, including pets (with the additional hashtag #OKPets).
If you're missing a loved one use #OKMissing, if you're missing a pet use #OKPets to tweet out info. This can help reunite families too.
