Glad you’re safe...great it was only trees in your back yard!
I suspect most have chainsaws for just such a happening. Imagine having to use a hand saw! (God is good!)

They’re still getting hail pounding....some reported earlier the size of grapefruit!

When the reporter was speaking you could hear it banging.

This thread from a few months ago convinces me that Shepard Smith is a homosexual. And with Lazamataz's comment ("Can we get rid of this puffy-smoking little muffler-accomodating ramrod-Queen?"), that provides the proof. As for being "gay", Smith comes across a warped, frustrated little man -- far from being joyous and happy, the true meaning of the term until the sodomites corrupted it.

I was at times 10 miiles west or south of this storm, and all I saw was a solid black mass. There were no features to be seen from outside, not even any visible lightening. It was just a black wall.

Sorry, wasn't ignoring you .. fell asleep     :-\

Last I heard, the husband and another child survived somehow, but don't quote that .. it was mentioned on news9.

I'd imagine that the sun's rising on a helluva mess out there about now.

We are OK. Storm broke apart and passed around us.

My wife’s niece had a daughter at the OKC Convention center last night. We were in constant contact with them when the storm headed straight for them. She was OK but shook up.

She later drove home using back roads. Flooding was everywhere. Everyone here is contacting everyone there to make sure everyone is OK.
