Tornadoes tonight!

Sooner — Sun, 10 Oct 2021 23:14:16 GMT

Tornadoes are developing tonight. I wish I didn't live here.

Stay safe to all of you also in the path of storms!

@Sooner Oh dear! Please stay safe. What area of the country are you in, if you don't mind my asking?

I've often wondered if you are in Oklahoma due to your board name!

Oklahoma! Tornado central! The National Severe Storms Lab is not far from Oklahoma City, if that tells you something!

@Sooner I hope you will be safe.

When I was a kid my mom drove us to and from Wichita to visit family. On the way back to California we stopped in Oklahoma due to tornado warnings and got to stay in a motel with a pool! A big deal for us in the early 60's.

I remember how pretty the whole area was, tho I don't recall exactlywhere we were.

@Love my grandkids Oh yes! A pool was a big deal. You probably were in or near Tulsa or Oklahoma City!

Tornados are so scary and where I live where we rarely experienced them are now considered in Tornado ally! The storms have worsened and I do hate when the winds are strong.

Be safe and well and hopefully you won't have any tornado issues.

Be safe. Storms these days are getting scary. I cant imagine living in an area that gets hit often. The last one hit way too close to home.

My friend who had her room just replaced said they had more hail, but not big hail, and a mesocyclone passed over but no tornado came down. She has had a rough year.

So it looks like things are slowing down a little for OK by about 8:30 unless it all revs up again!

Thanks for the good thoughts!

@Sooner I was only about 10 but I do recall we were near Oklahoma City. It was very very windy I do recall. I remember that the motel was full but the manager persuaded a couple of single people (don't know anything more) to share a room so my mom, sis and I could have a safe place. They were all so nice. My mom was really scared.

She grew up in Kansas with tornadoes and this was the only motel we could find with a vacancy.

The same line of storms just passed thru our area about twenty minutes ago, we are so thankful the heavy rain and high Winds we're not as strong as we expected, and no hail. Two years ago we had massive damage from high winds, so I always feel vulnerable when storms are in the forecast. I hope everyone in the path of this cold front stays safe. It is passing through a huge line of the country from east to west and from Texas up through parts of Michigan.

@Sooner , prayers for you and all in harms way from these storms. I lived most of my life in the Dallas area as well as KC and remember going to basement in KC at times. Blessings for you, your family, your loved ones and home!

@Sooner, hope everything turns out well. We were watching the Bill's and the KC Chiefs play this evening and the game was delayed for a while. Here in Georgia we get tornadoes and I'm always nervous. All the best.

@Sooner Are things okay by you today? I was just reading about the tornados that hit Oklahoma overnight. Very disturbing.

@ValuSkr THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THINKING ABOUT US!!!!

We are ok and had some hail damage, but not as bad as others. Lots of golf ball and bigger hail around last night. Lots of re-damage from April terrible hail storms got it again, but where we live didn't get the worst of it.

Lots of people in some places still don't have replacement windows from April and lots of boarded up still in some places. It's crazy but people can't get windows. Even just the glass panes you can't get.

We feel blessed to still have a house. There were a lot of near-tornadoes all over last night!
