Okay.....so, where is "the house"?? Now that you've told us twice, we probably should know, yes? :-)!!
well..after all, GWB did have the hurricane steering device in 2005....steered that dang Katrina right on into “NAWLINS”....
Lol. It’s easy to double post from a phone.
I live in northern Oklahoma.
Latest model data and trends have the storms forming into lines rather than staying discrete as the low level shear starts to increase after 5pm
If this is correct the long track tornado potential may not be as high
The correct storms forming over TX should stay discrete for now but low level shear isn’t that strong yet
And It’s possible individual storms could form out ahead of any lined storms anyway
Time will tell

Prayers for those in the path of these storms. Stay aware and stay safe!

There’s certainly activity along the Oklahoma Kansas border.
If we ate crickets and drank cockroach milk this wouldn’t be happening.
Glue down a bunch of climate protesters to block the path.
Here is some more video of yesterday’s storms. These areas got hit hard!!

Well, you remember how it tore up Moore really bad?
The problem was, IIRC, many ppl didn’t have cellars or storm shelters. By the time it bore down on them it was either run away in a car (many died trying) or ride it out in their above ground apartment, stick house, etc. The roads were jammed. A substantial portion of casualties were those attempting to flee by car.
I was in an apt. in Lawton and ID-d a tel. manhole cover nearby that I planned to pry off and get in should one come our way. Not guaranteed but a better chance then a 2nd floor apt in a stick building.

Lots of times workmen go down into unventilated utility manholes and die in minutes due to air quality issues. I’ve seen it up close.

May have just got hit with strong tornado
This guy had one a few minutes ag and is chasing around east nor east of Enid to get near it again:

His house was about half a mile away from the tornado's track. They were at their son's school when it got hit. He wound up with horse mashing his mini-van in the parking lot. The hospital where they worked got wiped out.
They decided it was time for a garage shelter after that. Haven't used it since.
Tornadoes can be ferocious storms but your chance of getting hit are not that great. The military got me to Arizona where we never needed to worry about that. But, some of the summer dust devils here can be like EF-1s.
