One of my co-workers brothers who is a NWS forecaster is chasing storms in Oklahoma today. We will see what kind of stories I will here from that.

[soonerchk]

I didn't get to go looting Saturday, but maybe tonight will be my chance!

[Mississippi Sooner]

I didn't get to go looting Saturday, but maybe tonight will be my chance!

I gotta tell ya, this place was damn busy after Hurricane Katrina:

I want a new grill. I'm very focused.

[SoonerHoops]

I hope the zombies capture you.

It's always good to have focus and clarity!! :D

Do not mess with the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

[delhalew]

Given what has been happening this tornado season, I hope this is still a joke tomorrow.

I had to call my wife to make sure she is taking it seriously, as I am not there to protect them.

[soonerchk]

I'm much better with ranch.

What exactly would you do if you were here? Glare at the nader until it left?

[soonerprices]

I'm much better with ranch.





How about strawberries?

[delhalew]

I'm much better with ranch.



What exactly would you do if you were here? Glare at the nader until it left?

See my Sig.

Seriously though. I am far better in an awful situation than my wife...or most people for that matter. While she panics, I will be covering the children with a mattress, and making sure emergency supplies are near. That probably seems stupid to someone whom nothing bad can happen.

Not implying you fit that model chk.

[NormanPride]

That's because you have the taste buds of an okie. What if the dragon is from Iowa? They haven't invented ranch there yet. Ketchup is all they have.

[KantoSooner]

Oklahoma: "Manliest state in the Country. Where men head-butt bison, punch deer in the face… “IN THE FACE”, and fight off tornadoes with their gargantuan dicks."

Well, I guess it's "Man Up" time, boys. Perhaps if you formed a line from say El Reno to Moore, you could protect OKC...

[soonerchk]

Look, we live in OK, so we know what to do, and we also know that if it's gonna get us, it's gonna get us. I just try to not do something stupid like be on the treadmill in front of a plate glass window when it hits.


How about strawberries?

I'm already sweet enough.


That's because you have the taste buds of an okie. What if the dragon is from Iowa? They haven't invented ranch there yet. Ketchup is all they have.

Ew, Yankee dragons.

[NormanPride]

Iowa is yankee?

[soonerchk]

Iowa is yankee?

Not as Yankee as Vermont, but yes.

[pphilfran]

Looks like the storms are starting to pop between Altus and Elk City...

I'm going to guess you don't have small children. I would also say this statement is an example of why I wish I were home.

Look I've been in Naders, I've chased Naders, and I've sat on the roof and watched Naders. It's a familiar part of our lives. That's why I'm going out ofy way to get the ole lady to take this seriously. If nothing happens... no harm, no foul.

[IndySooner]

LOL, as a native Iowan who discovered ranch when he moved to Oklahoma, that's funny as hell.

Well after seeing what happened to a friend's house in Joplin Sunday night, I'm philosophical, kids or not. I'll take precautions if I need to, but I'm pretty resigned to the fact that there is only so much I can do.

thats a pretty ignorant stance.

[soonerchk]

thats a pretty ignorant stance.

So I should run around like a chicken with no head and panic every time I see the weatherman? I can probably work up some tears, too.

[3rdgensooner]

I'm in Iowa, but they are talking like you all better be watching your asses north of Dallas, all the way to Wichita, including Joplin.What??!!

This is the first I've heard of it.

[Mjcpr]

Looks like the storms are starting to pop between Altus and Elk City...

Since Altus has been at 100 degrees for about a month already, I'd say they could use it.

[pphilfran]

I'd say run around with your head stuck up your bum but apparently it's already there.

[pphilfran]

You all have me so scared I am packing up and moving to Maine...

[soonerchk]

I'd say run around with your head stuck up your bum but apparently it's already there.

Well since you are the expert, why don't you tell me how I should respond.

*waiting eagerly for enlightenment*

[JohnnyMack]

I have three small kids and I probably won't freak out. I'll have the news on, pay attention to what's happening and go on with my life. I guess that someone should call DHS on me.

[NormanPride]

What's their number?

[pphilfran]

Storms pushing 50,000 feet...look out Weatherford...

[soonerchk]

What's their number?

You called Fish & Game too, didn't you?

[delhalew]

How does not being a clueless moron entail freaking out?

[reflector]

When is the storm supposed to hit Edmond?

[pphilfran]

When is the storm supposed to hit Edmond?

This batch will move west and north of ya...

[reflector]

Thanks.

chk, maybe you need to start taking these things more seriously. I've included this link to further educate you all: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/media/oun/player.html

That's not seven numbers. Are you also educating your children poorly while you expose them to tornadoes everyday?

[pphilfran]

Get in...

Get down...

Cover up...

Got it...I'm good to go....

I didn't get to go looting Saturday, but maybe tonight will be my chance!

The best looting will be around Utica Square.

I'm prepared. I got new batteries for my radio today.

You are forgetting center of the home, no windows, a bathtub is a big plus. Or you could do like Dean and jump in a tin horn. That would be hard to beat.

[JohnnyMack]

They F-5ing errybody up in here!

[soonerchk]

I can't speak for chk, but I take these things much more seriously than I used to. I'm not above joking around in advance, though.

I am taking it seriously. I have a plan of what to do if anything actually happens, but I'm not getting all in a tizzy until something actually does happen.


And then I'm going to loot Merrits before heading to Home Depot for a grill.

[pphilfran]

I think the storm up by Canton Lake is going to be bad...

[3rdgensooner]

THERE WILL BE NO BEING PHILOSOPHICAL IN THIS ESTABLISHMENT!

[Jammin']

Question: as we enjoy windows in our house, at least one in every room plus a few sky lights here and there, the safest place we have is the laundry room. So is it a good idea to throw the kids into the dryer if the **** hits the fan or no? (I would of course use a dryer sheet to avoid static cling.

Yeah, that's what it's looking like. Stay safe, everyone!

[KantoSooner]

I'm really bemused. I've weatherunderground running on my machine and it's showing bupkis out to a bit beyond El Reno (I'm in Bartlesville, so El Reno/Enid seemed like enough 'cushion' for me).
Where are these storms of which you speak. Or does weatherunderground have a cunning plan to lull me into false security....damn, those plotting bastards!

This is all because I asked you if you intended to glare at the tornado? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't your response that you were going to waggle your peener at it? But I'm the bad one? Um okay.

[KantoSooner]

No, no, that was me.

But not personally. I only volunteered my massive management ability to organize a wall of wieners to bat those toronados away.

[soonerchk]

I'm much better with ranch.



What exactly would you do if you were here? Glare at the nader until it left?


See my Sig.

Seriously though. I am far better in an awful situation than my wife...or most people for that matter. While she panics, I will be covering the children with a mattress, and making sure emergency supplies are near. That probably seems stupid to someone whom nothing bad can happen.

Not implying you fit that model chk.

Referenced sig:
Oklahoma: "Manliest state in the Country. Where men head-butt bison, punch deer in the face… “IN THE FACE”, and fight off tornadoes with their gargantuan dicks."


Yes, my memory of this seems correct. Glaring is way worse than waggling and I am a complete bitch and I don't know how I will continue to live with myself.

I'm not the one that continued saying being prepared is freaking out. I'm sure my son would agree, but he is only one year old. I'll bet a bunch of folks with dead families look at differently, but whatever.

I hope everybody stays safe, and we are more fortunate than others have been.

No chit...they play ball and they could have won the series...

The best team usually wins a best of 7 series. OKC is inept enough to look confused when game management counts the most.

[soonerchk]

Well, I am out of the woods...good luck to the rest of ya...hope ya don't die....

YOU CAN'T SAY DON'T DIE ON THE INTERNETS!!!

[Whet]

Chickasha in the path.
Edmond in the path of huge tornado

[delhalew]

i need a clarification - i have children but they are not small - they are grown

can i be less concerned about them?

That clearly depends on said child's intelligence.

Where did I say that? Find it. I said I was prepared but I'm not going to freak out because there is only so much I can do. Huge difference.

Is this per TV guys? I'm looking on the radar.

They seem to wait till there is less than 10 seconds left and then get up a bad shot....in game three they jacked up a couple of treys at terrible times....

[Romulus]

having random neighbors calling us and texting us wanting in our storm shelter. Feels like the twilight zone.

Obviously! Now in the most heartfelt and unironic way I know, I hope everyone stays safe tonight. I'm going to the gym and hit the treadmill in front of the plate glass window before it gets nasty here.

Yes, really.

That's what I mean. The really good teams have a point guard who can run a squad and get things under control.

Or hit a free throw.

Threadjack.:O

[delhalew]

Referenced sig:

Yes, my memory of this seems correct. Glaring is way worse than waggling and I am a complete bitch and I don't know how I will continue to live with myself.

It's been there for nearly a year. I didn't change it for this situation.

However, since I'm not around to fend them off with my ****, you might have to use your head.

Yeah Russell Westbrook is a year or three away from having the experience to manage these situations. Maybe he gets traded for CP3 in the offseason...

[pphilfran]

Is this per TV guys? I'm looking on the radar.

Looks more like Guthrie to me...the south edge could clip Edmond...and the southwest side is where a nader tends to form...

[yankee]

You guys stay safe up there, ya hear?

[pphilfran]

Just north of El Reno...moving east...take cover...

[Romulus]

I live far NorthEast Edmond, little scared and this stuff never scares me

I'll just watch kfor on television thanks. ;) :D

[SoonerHoops]

Stay safe North OKC. Anyone know if the severe storms by Lawton are heading up to OKC as well?

[Penguin]

It's amazing that they are telling people to get out of the way. You never would have heard that 10 years ago.

[pphilfran]

Stay safe North OKC. Anyone know if the severe storms by Lawton are heading up to OKC as well?

Those will probably hit Shawnee...

He had power poles breaking off right in front of him...don't know how good he is but he ain't very smart...

You can click on any car. Nick Nolte too.

another one towards Mustang, downtown OKC

[delhalew]

Man, look out sw OKC.

[oumartin]

yeah, I saw those earlier today but didn't come across your guy obviously.

guess I might be missing someone better than my hero David

[mgsooner]

He had power poles breaking off right in front of him...don't know how good he is but he ain't very smart...

That was incredible. There was literally a broken power pole suspended in the air above the vehicle.

[pphilfran]

Another possible near Marlow...

[pphilfran]

I beat em on the Marlow storm...

[Whet]

moore and norman in the path of the Chickasha tornado!

[pphilfran]

6 possible at the current time...

[pphilfran]

The one by Marlow and Rush Springs could be REALLY bad...

[delhalew]

It's getting crazy. Got one heading into Chickasha now.

[delhalew]

The one by Marlow and Rush Springs could be REALLY bad...

That's great news.

[Romulus]

it looks like its going to go North of Edmond

[Whet]

That is the one heading towards Moore/Norman

[pphilfran]

That's great news.

Those towns probably won't get hammered...but northeast of them could be in trouble...

[delhalew]

Well, ****. Hunker down.

Grapefruit size hail move up I44 from Chickasha...wow....

what about edmond....my whole family lives at Oak Tree....

[pphilfran]

****.

Where are you?

[pphilfran]

what about edmond....my whole family lives at Oak Tree....

The one in OKC looks to be moving north of Edmond...might clip the northern edge...

The one near Chickasha could move up your way...I'm guessing you will split the two storms and will miss the blunt of it...but anything can happen at the current time...

[pphilfran]

I44 at Chickasha getting hit...

[pphilfran]

Look out Edmond...it is now heading your way...

[delhalew]

Where are you?

I'm heading to St. Louis. I was in Minnesota this morning.

[SoonerNate]

My prayers are with you all. My brother lives up near Seward but I just heard he's in a shelter thank God.

[OULenexaman]

Look out Edmond...it is now heading your way... location??.....intersections?? I was getting texts from sis and bro.....they stopped...

[pphilfran]

It now looks like the Edmond storm has lost its rotation...

The storm up I44 is a monster...if it stays together it is probably less than an hour to Norman...

[oumartin]

it appears to have missed Edmond so far though there is some circulation near Mercy and quail springs... Cashion might have been hit and there is a large one east of chickasha.

[SoonerNate]

True. It looks like Norman will get hard.

[StoopTroup]

I put my zip code in the weather radar and chance of death is 13%

[delhalew]

location??.....intersections?? I was getting texts from sis and bro.....they stopped...

Prolly just too busy to text.

[pphilfran]

location??.....intersections?? I was getting texts from sis and bro.....they stopped...

North of Waterloo is getting hit the hardest but it has lost some intensity...at least for the time being...

[OULenexaman]

prolly can't text from the cellar in the garage..it's a deep one....with lots of wine.

[pphilfran]

Norman...get your chit together...

[delhalew]

prolly can't text from the cellar in the garage..it's a deep one....with lots of wine.

Good place to be hunkered down.

[OU-HSV]

Guys watch out, that tornado near Chickasha looks like it's gotten huge. Good luck everyone be careful out there.

[FirstAndGoalOU]

sirens on now in Norman,

[Whet]

Heading into Guthrie, Langston, Stillwater!

[Whet]

F'ing large tornado heading towards Norman. I hope OUDavid's bet doesn't get tested today!

[oumartin]

sirens on now in Norman,



Do we really need sirens? I mean it's not like we can stare at it and make it go away.. Just step away from the windows and treadmills and hope for the best.

[StoopTroup]

Is this where Tuf said folks in stoolwater should get in their cars and head to Langston?
:D ;)

[FirstAndGoalOU]

Brown outs and helicopters over head.
Thunder, lightening, rain and wind starting.

[Whet]

you better get underground!

[StoopTroup]

Can you see multiple funnels yet?

[lexsooner]

Holy crap, my Dad just e-mailed me from Oklahoma. It is really bad. Prayers for everyone out there.

[OUHOMER]

freaking dish tv keeps going out..piece of junk

[StoopTroup]

My Wife is out jogging.

[pphilfran]

It looks like it will be north of Norman and hit Moore...

Please, let this go between North Norman and South Moore.

Does anyone know of a storm shelter (with a basement) that is open to the public in the south Tulsa area? Like a Church or something? Thanks.I checked with a local meteorologist. There aren't any public shelters in Tulsa.

[pphilfran]

Looks to be another one down by Purcell...

[FirstAndGoalOU]

Look Out Moore!

Does anyone want to go to Broken Arrow and check on my mom and Loco? I'm trapped in Colorado Springs.

We need more dogs and babies in the Union :D

Purcell in a few minutes...south of Lloyd Nobel is in the path...

[3rdgensooner]

you know a local meteorologist from Tulsa?Yes, a couple of them

[DIB]

Purcell in a few minutes...south of Lloyd Nobel is in the path...

Is it wrong that I hope the LNC gets destroyed, as long as no one gets hurt?

[Blue]

Weather Channel...WHOA!!!! KFOR. Near Noble. Huuuge.

[MsProudSooner]

If this thing gets near Tulsa, I guess I'll go to my office. My 2nd story apartment isn't the optimum place to be. The only good thing about my office is that the bottom floor is below ground level.

[DIB]

Yes, a couple of them

Can you get me Travis Meyer's autograph?

[XFollower]

Does anyone want to go to Broken Arrow and check on my mom and Loco? I'm trapped in Colorado Springs.

BA is safe for now, but it's moving towards that way.

[pphilfran]

Looks like the Norman storm has lost strength...

Stillwater under the gun now...power flashes..

[FirstAndGoalOU]

Sorry lost all power , Sirens again going....3/4" to 1" hail. Stay safe all.

[3rdgensooner]

Can you get me Travis Meyer's autograph?I can not.

[delhalew]

At least 2 dead in El Reno.:(

[pphilfran]

Pauls Valley in a few minutes...it seems every storm in the state is producing a funnel...

[delhalew]

Chickasha as well.

This Von cat on Tulsa23 said that Newcastle funnel was the biggest he's ever seen.

We moved our vehicles up to the garage at Promenade Mall. It looks pretty bad.

[olevetonahill]

Prayin for every one to be safe.

[C&CDean]

We've got a bunch of kin in Goldsby who only responded that they were in their shelters - nothing since. One of them is wheelchair bound. We got a text from our ex-football coach at Lex (who is now the coach at Washington) that his house is gone. Bummer.

[ouwasp]

Welp, soon as I finish my bowl of chili, gonna go open up the cellar... clear out any cobwebs...

Hope we don't need it. :)

[proud gonzo]

I hid in the neighbor's shelter in South Norman. We're fine here. Hope everyone else is.

[JohnnyMack]

We moved our vehicles up to the garage at Promenade Mall. It looks pretty bad.

Well it used to be nice. But as the years go on it has gone downhill a bit. The El Chico is still nice.

[soonercruiser]

Stood by the door of the shelter a while (working on the wiffie's car).
(Waitin' for her to say....."Dive; dive"!)
Missed us at Lake Hefner.
Wish everyone else the best!

El Reno looks bad!
