Tornados
umberto:
Thank you for checking on us Okies! I live in NW OKC, and we hardly got any rain much less any bad weather. My cousin lives in Bridge Creek (SW OKC), and narrowly missed a tornado. Of course he couldn't dodge the 9 inches of rain they got in 2 hours. :-o He said his pond went from 8-10 feet down to overflowing in the blink of an eye. Pray for us on Saturday, that's when it is supposed to be really bad. As if 12 torpedoes in one night wasn't "bad".

just don't want to hear that one of us got hurt, or lost a loved one...seeing the footage of some of the aftermath is pretty scary.
I couldn't imagine the emotion of losing everything in a blink of an eye like that, and with hardly any time to take cover.

I've had one for a few years.
With all I see going on I think it's a good idea...

We have the best weather people. They can tell you days in advance when the weather will be bad, hours before a tornado could be coming, and once it's on the ground a minute by minute and street by street projection so you have plenty of time to get to cover. We usually load all the precious stuff in our safe room and sit down to watch the weather. If they tell us to seek shelter, then in we go. This severe of weather is usually not that frequent, thankfully. Most thunderstorms just dump a ton of rain and occasionally some hail.

unfortunately the best weathermen are no match for mother nature...since many deaths still happen because of them.
