yes...our sirens are going off...and there is one on the ground about 20 miles out from the city. Heading right for Yukon...and Mustang...OKC suburbs. We had hail about tennisball size in Yukon an hour or so ago. Now a tornado. Going to be a hairy ride.

You can see the hook eco plain as day on that one, it looks like it will go just north of the city from looking at that radar image. Im surprised they have the sirens going off already if the storm is still 20 miles out, i suppose they are a bit jumpy though considering their history.

no question..I have been through both. At least in the day...you can see them coming. At night...you can't...unless there is some pretty good lightening to back light it.

Why is it that people in the south dont have basements, is the water table high there? Everyone in Nebraska has one.

when they spot one...within about 15 to 20 miles...they will sound the sirens for one cycle...to alert everyone...then they will stop them until one is emminent. At least that has been the pattern in recent years. We have the best severe storm warning system in the world. Bar none.
