I was 4 years old. I remember going to the building and seeing it but it didn't really register what had happened. My parents just told me a lot of people got really hurt. The only thing I really remember was petting a mounted officer's horse lol

I was in 5th grade, in art class at the time. That room is elevated, so I didn't feel anything. Once we found out what was happening, I was worried about my dad since all I knew was that he worked for the government, but I didn't know where. Fortunately my mom called to let me know he was fine. I think they kept things pretty normal for us otherwise since we were too young to fully appreciate what had happened or was going on.
I'm in South Carolina, but I remember hearing about it. I was in 3rd grade and my mom got together with my school to create little booklets with students' pictures and stories/poems about it to help us understand and cope with what happened. I had a poem in it. The majority were sent to the OKC fire and police.
Not an Okie but my aunt and uncle live in Norman. I was only 9 but I clearly remember the news and my dad trying to get in touch with my uncle as my aunt worked close by. My family did not get hurt but they had several close friends get hurt or lose their lives in the blast.
I think I was in 2nd or 3rd grade and my mom came to pick me up early. I remember very vividly being in the car and asking what was going on, and she said there had been a big explosion in OKC (we were in Tulsa). That memory and my memory of 9/11 are very similar.

I feel like the old lady here but I was a sophmore in high school. We were on spring break but I was at school to help with something for it, I have no memory of what. I got home and my mom was like did you jus hear? We had been in had been in the gym so no tvs.

I was thinking the same thing! I was a junior in high school and remember talking extensively about it in AP US History class.

I talked to my mom about it tonight. She told me that her whole office went to lunch to get away from the office (just in case) and they weren't telling anyone they were federal employees because they didn't know if they would be targeted.
And my school called her to make sure she was okay because they knew she was a federal employee.
