I haven't heard anything about Stillwater yet. I think this might go south of Stillwater but don't hold me to that.

That's what I heard. I also heard Tinker not damaged but appears the GM plant is totalled.

My hubby's #2 sister & hubby had the roofing torn off their house last year by a category 1 or 2 tornado last year (and we have basements in Wisconsin). This tornado was followed by another one a couple weeks later. That one missed their house, but they ended up with quite a bit of flooding--including their basement.
The insurance adjuster might as well just moved in to their house--and she's got a lot of new stuff, like a roof, drywall, carpeting, furnace, furniture, etc. Oddly enough, when the tornado touched down & took their roof off, their son's boat was untouched--didn't even move.

Yes, its true! Tornado frozen solid & is laying on it's side covering several towns.
Amazing story. Danger is when it melts it will raise havoc again.
Plans in the works to keep it frozen & haul it out to sea where it can thawout harmlessly.
