My family is fine, but Shawnee is really in trouble. Threw a semi off of the overpass and ton of other damage.

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.

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.

How high is the thunderhead that can produce such hail?

Nice that they provided an actual grapefruit for size comparison.
