thats a P.D.S. watch...scary.
So far storms are messy and now In lines
As better shear develops the lined up/ merged storms won’t have as much as a tornado threat as they could have
I know, I’ve double-posted myself from time to time. Just wanted to give you a hard time. :-) Also, tho, was really curious where your home was. Thanks so much for responding.
I’m praying everything is alright over there in Okie.
I’m on the phone with a pastor friend at this moment
Just told him about me being in Branson several years ago and there was a tornado outbreak nearby
I was in a hotel near The Landing - just up 76 from Branson Scenic Railway
[The hospital where they worked got wiped out.]
If that was 2013 I saw that hospital
No problem, we all make mistakes, especially me.
We had an interesting day, starting with a tornado watch at 6:00 am. There were five separate tornado warnings in my county with at least one on the ground, which caused some structure damage. Some storms were moving 80 mph.
It’s all clear here now, so I’m settling down with a glass of vino and an episode of Colombo.
Thanks for the concern and good natured ribbing.
Norman OK getting hit right now. The Weather Channel just showed a live shot of the wedge funnel cloud.
My SIL worked in the x-ray department of the Moore Medical Center. She was off work that day because she was getting ready to retire. The pictures she sent us were dated May 2013. They were taken a few days after the tornado. Some of the debris had already been removed to clear the roads. There were still cars lodged in the building though.

Tornado moving near Ardmore, Oklahoma

It was nighttime when I drove by. Somewhere around 10:30 p.m.
I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me - then it looked smashed - decided I wasn’t seeing it right (properly).
And by golly was it smashed. Right through the center.
wow
She said the floor that she worked on was completely removed by the storm, just gone.
It looked like a giant fist had smashed the center of the building (slightly off the center).
I was driving by about 60 mph, trying to take it all in, in the dark.
It was incredible.
Sulphur OK hit hard
Large and dangerous tornado just moved through Holdenville.

Yikes. Prayers up!
Prayers for all there. Whatever is left of the storm is forecasted to come to eastern SC on Wednesday.
Any word from the area around Muskogee? I have a couple friends who moved there last month.
Using your link and my local radar shows heavy rain for almost all day. But around 5 AM the radar reds and yellows will be mostly just in TX turning into all green about 8 AM for OK and TX.
Dang
