Stay safe!
Derecho. Nasty straight line winds.
At the time of this posting the winds in north west Arkansas have died down. The storm front is a few hours away but we’re being given warnings as well.
Stay safe everyone.
Looks pretty nasty on Windy.com radar
I saw someplace that there was a gust of 114 mph in Texas.
This guy is very good at monitor severe weather outbreaks. Apparently Norman got hit pretty hard.

Prayers up for my Okie brothers and sisters
Sending up prayers of protection for all in harm’s way in Jesus’ name. 🙏
I hope there are no casualties from such storms, and that everyone makes it through unscathed and without great loss of property.
Yup, that line along the Kansas / Oklahoma border is cooking. At least the tornado warnings are fewer than a little while ago.
One of my area TV stations (I can just barely receive them with an outdoor antenna) has a much better than usual (for a TV station) online set of weather graphics, some of which can be panned around and zoomed to street level anywhere in the continental US, so I use it quite a bit. Here’s their basic “interactive radar” (I usually use the “expand radar to full window” in the upper left of the radar image):

There are ads on the entry screen, but not too bad.
Yeah, some breaks in the line - good!
i have dear friends who used to live in Fairfax area.
they are now around Fort Smith.
... Although sometimes that means more tornados. Not too many tornado warnings now, tho’.
The system will eventually move into somewhat more stable air / an inversion - interesting question of whether that, or derechos’ tendency to create favorable mesoscale conditions for themselves, prevails for long.
Fairfax....not far from me.
