Good afternoon, E...((HUGS))...did you get any of the bad weather? No tornadoes? No explosions?

Hope you and Bo have had a good day.

[E.G.C.]

We had quite a night with severe weather.

One of the storm cells that was coming at us had a Tornado with it and we got very nervous.

Bu thankfully the storm came down intensity and move off to the Northeast and missed us.

There was some damage to the Goodyear plan at Lawton from an unconfirmed tornado. Thankfully no one was injured from Wednesday's severe weather.
