Quite the weather here tonight. We've been having an above average amount of tornadoes in Oklahoma this year (the weekend before last 4 Okies lost their lives due to tornado activity and the Weather Service showed that 22 tornadoes hit us in one day). Tonight, one was heading in my direction. Sirens kept going off. Lights kept flickering. Cell phone kept telling me, "There is a tornado in your area. This is a life threatening situation. Take cover now!" Then the hail came. It has all now moved on and I'm blessed to be here unharmed. The bad part of the storm seems to have went around my scruffy neighborhood. But, other areas of the city have downed power lines, down street lights, trees on cars, trees in bedrooms, barns blown away, damage to buildings and businesses, the biggest highway through town is blocked with debris, a nursing home in a nearby small town took a direct hit, etc. etc. We are told to stay home and off the streets due to debris and downed power lines.
