Tornados hitting OK....near OK City.
Midwest getting hit hard.
My family is fine, but Shawnee is really in trouble. Threw a semi off of the overpass and ton of other damage.
Well there goes the Keystone Pipeline.
It actually gets completed by pipes that are already in the ground but, I get the joke.
LOL
Broken Arrow could be tough. There use to be a windshield factory on the north edge. In 1981 the tornado wiped out everything around from Memorial down through Broken Arrow.
Miraculously, the Tornado skip over the plant and I am certain thousands were sparred.
Tornado in Okmulgee/Beggs.
Look at that thing trying to form at the edge of the storm.
I’ve seen em form and scary as hell.
Have to get some sleep before work but AMEN!
Thankfully my son is home from college or he would have been out taking video of the tornado. (Not majoring in common sense, but then most colleges don’t offer anything resembling it.)
Broken Arrow missed essentially everything. We got a few sprinkles but not enough to even cover the driveway.
Amen.
I believe in the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
Shawnee storm tracked about 5 miles south of us. We didn’t have to get in the shelter. It is amazing how accurately they predict the paths of these storms.
Good. My Mom said y’all got some pretty large hail yesterday.
Grapefruit size hail:

How high is the thunderhead that can produce such hail?
Nice that they provided an actual grapefruit for size comparison.
Sheesh!!! I use to park my car at the Tulsa towers or a car wash when it was gonna hail.
Sometimes ducked my car in the same building where Secret Service had an office.
