Thanks for the heads up! It was strange hearing the sirens at work. I doubt I can ever get used to the weather in this state!
Looks like Tulsa's gonna get some bad weather this evening.
Zzzzzzzzzzz
Typical Oklahoma weather! Our Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been cancelled since they believe all of the bad weather will go east of us.
Sounds as if most of eastern Oklahoma will be under the gun tonight.
I didn't know that there were tornadoes in the area until I ran an errand and hear on the radio they were in the Choctaw area. We had a mixture of sun and rain here in Norman but to the east of where I live out toward Lake Thunderbird, it looked really nasty.
Thanks for the ping.
Hey guess what?
You're silly and I'm not? ;-)
What?
Did you know that there is also a tornado warning for Washington DC.
And his name is Tom Coburn!!!
Thanks, I grew up in Oklahoma, and I don't remember late fall and winter tornadoes.
Heh!!!
We've had rainy weather but not really stormy all day. Looks like storms are comin' though.
I've heard that Coburn isn't alone either.
Jim Demint and David Vitter are just as Conservative as he is.
Aaack!
We live less than 1/2 mile from the Lincoln Co. line (to the south in Pottawatomie Co.)--seeing some lightning and having some downpours now.
My husband and daughter are on their way to church for daughter's CCD class.
Thanks.
Not really. October and early November usually see an increase in the average number of tornadoes but no where near as many as we see March-June.
Cute!
Trivia: which county in OK is mentioned as being in the tornado warning in the [1960's flashback] opening scene of Twister?
Chattanooga. We had one touch down several years ago. The last one previous to that had been 50 years or something. I discovered that my children did not have the first clue about how to seek shelter in a tornado.
My sister lives in the Memphis area, apparently tornados are fairly common there.
