Demonstrating they from the East or West Coast....

Oklahoma sucks...
Yes, that’s what it looks like.
I have a cousin who lives in Norman, they love it except for this time of year. I did some work up there for Holder Corp. in 2015, April to be exact. Massive storms every dang night. I had a travel trailer and you could not put a toothpick in ....nevermind.
I hate prepping for these storms, just a bunch of whimpers when they get to my side of town.......just kidding I have had some amazing twisters, bad effers nearby, and a couple three overheads that shook the cabin. I just do not like having to decide to hit the low ground or giving the bird to the Flintrocks
