Jeramie Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 We have tornados all over the east side of the state. Even the city of Tulsa is buttoning down which is pretty rare for the entire city to do so. This is a very, very severe set of storms. Its a dryline that pushed through and now this side of the state is in trouble. We have set out the rain coats, camera, flashlights, and valueables to take to the cellar as we will likely be there within the hour. They have confirmed several tornado touch downs, damage, and hail. Its pretty intense this time of year. For Okie born people it can be exciting as long as you dont allow it to detract from the seriousness. The hail and high winds alone can be very, very serious. Im shooting video if it gets here before it gets dark and ill try to put it up for everyone to see. Our local news is reporting another tornado on the ground. Thats several in the last 30 minutes alone. If youre curious or just want to live through an Okie storm check out our local news stations. I am shutting the computer down and unplugging everything so it doesnt fry. Ill let everyone know how we came out tomorrow (friday) morning.

hutchies Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Tuska school is trash as well as confirmed deaths there. Madill lots of roofs, barns, trees, and other stuff gone. I was in ardmore when they had 2 tornados sit down on Plainview road. Warning sirens went off as they sat my fajitas down in front of me. Didn't even let me get a bit and they closed the restraunt. We had a softball tourney at Wilson today. Brother in law and mom got baseball to softball size hail. Not been a good day. Say a prayer for the lives lost.

Gator Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Nothing, that's what I got. No rain no nothing. I'd almost take a storm to get some rain, it's DRYYYYYYY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckrich Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Check in Okies. Everyone make it through alright? We were lucky in BA. There were high winds and lots of rotation sitting on top of us for a while and they sounded the sirens a couple of times, got a pretty good rain, but not any damage that I could see this morning. Last I heard there were 6 deaths from that storm. Tragic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 We got a lot of noise, but not much else. My mom works for the local electric company and she was called out to Atoka at 4 am. She's supposed to be there for at least 3 days. Should be getting some updates from her later on today. The worst part of the storm past to the north of us while we were on a T-ball field playing.LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeramie Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Everything in my neck of the woods is good minus a lot of rain and some hail damage. High winds did do some damage but its typical for Oklahoma. Nothing to get excited about. Next round of storms is expected on Tuesday. Spring time in Tornado alley....

MCH Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Round 2?? Been under Tornado watch for over an hour now with 6 more hours to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted April 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 We dodged that bullet. We had some wall clouds but nothing serious. It got really cool yesterday and the pressure never came up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Tornado touched down 30 miles east of us and then again 30 miles west of us. We dodged most of the bad stuff. Did get marble sized hail, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Had the worst hail storm I've ever experienced. Ya'll remember the video of the guy filming hail hitting in his swimming pool?? That's what we went through today. Started out with marble sized hail. After a minute or so, it moved up to golf ball sized hail. That lasted almost 5 minutes and then it moved up to just under baseball sized hail for what seemed like 10 straight minutes! Busted my wife's windshield and dented both our vehicles pretty bad. Auto body shops should stay busy around here for a couple of months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
