The Weather Channel showing a hook moving close to the city...just to the west and northwest of Oklahoma City. Looks bad.

Does anyone have that URL to www.spc.noaa.gov or wherever it was that showed the current warnings? My sister is in Cincinnati, they had a severe thunderstorm warning earlier, with tornado warnings for Indiana just west of them. I'd like to check (but don't want to call her in case she's hunkered down in the basement).

Thanks.
