MAJOR TORNADO OUTBREAK IMMINENT!!! (Please Share)

I don't often get worked up over events. There are times when all of the parameters are there and very little happens, generally because the models underestimate the CAP strength which prevents thunderstorm development. You better pray they aren't estimating this one correctly because the rest of the ingredients are all there for large damaging tornadoes between the hours of 6pm and midnight across C OK.

From the NWS in Norman: NWS Norman ‏@NWSNorman 6m Times may change, but I would not want to be driving anywhere in the OKC metro after 4pm today. Tornadoes not certain, but be ready! #okwx

Always seemed like that to me. ;-)

Oddly enough, I have a friend in Ashkelon Israel where a lot of the Gaza rockets land, and they go outside to watch just like tornadoes in Oklahoma.

There must be a massive Low Pressure in Oklahoma & Texas, because the winds out of the NW have been howling nonstop in Colorado for the last 48 hours. It affected flight operations at DIA pretty significantly yesterday, and it’s still blowing.

Cold air off the Rockies plus warm humid Gulf air = Big Trouble.

I don’t think there’s a whole lot you can do to protect your property from a tornado. What sort of idiot are you? Be sure to stay glued to your TV weather channel so they can protect you.

Tornados aren’t the only type of severe weather that can be somewhat mitigated, nor are they the costliest.
