They frequently cut in to their chaser. Dude is insane. A few minutes ago he was near it and power poles were being lifted out of the ground.

Yeah I have loads of friends in Edmond/OKC/Midwest City and Norman. The strongest of the main 3 storms in the metro area is tracking almost exactly like the may 3 tornado

My brother lives by OKC. I was on the phone with him about an hour ago and the sirens went off.

God I hope he's ok.

I'm in NW OKC. The sirens sounded but have been off for about half an hour. It finally started raining about fifteen minutes ago. The street is already a river, but that's par for the course in this town. I seriously think their drainage system was put in about 40 years ago and they never bothered to upgrade it.

You know its a bad sign when they order the planes to leave Tinker Air Force base in OKC early in the day.

We are looking at getting walloped by storms tonight in Kansas, probably from the same system moving through Oklahoma right now. What sucks is, they're not due to hit until after bed time.

Where are you at? Looking like 9-12 is the worst time for Kansas City, so I'll be up for that atleast
