Still in Muskogee, and under tornado watch, not warning, but also a flash flood warning. Supposed to ride my bike in Tahlequah tomorrow... all about the Oklahoma Bike Summit I am attending. Might have been better if I had stayed home... but, so far, so good. No hail damage on my now parked outside car... and besides the nearby tornado last night, and no electricity for hours... I am fine. Moni

Good to hear from you Moni. Our niece in Davis had the water up on the front porch when it finally stopped rising. Our farm house there is up on a hill so no flooding. The hail was pretty bad she said. Stay safe!

The Tornados killed 8 people in Oklahoma. Most (all?) of the fatalities were in a small town in southwest Oklahoma near the Texas border. An entire trailer park was wiped out. Just heavy rain and wind around the Tulsa area. How nice of you to ask. I hope others did alright.

I pray that there are people and pets found alive and reunited. I know they have surely found everyone in the schools by now and hope is gone for those children. This morning they showed an old woman finding her dog and I still have tears in my eyes from that. We are getting shelters at schools in this area. I know Seneca got one after that earlier big tornado and some schools are getting them since the Joplin tornado. I think all schools should have shelters and not halls and bathrooms for shelters. I can't imagine how bad it would be to be a teacher in a school with young children during a tornado or a parent of a missing child. edit Glenda has posted over on the OK forum prayers from the Ozarks. Joe you might want to post on that thread too. This post was edited by helenh on Tue, May 21, 13 at 11:30

Adella, are you doing an above ground or below ground one? Got friends with both. The friend with the above ground one seems to always have it full of junk. The below ground one can be entered even if a car is in the garage. The opening is just barely in front of the car. Roger had it put in after the Edmond Tornado in 2009. That one was only 2 miles from his house. I am not sure, if I will add one here. To wet when it rains for below ground... and not enough space for above ground. Besides, I am not to keen on the above ground ones. If I do a below, it will have to be in the back yard, but there is no way to put heavy equipment back there, just no room to get it back. Moni

Two nights ago, a tornado struck in northwest Wisconsin. A trailer park was completely demolished - 1 dead and 25 injuried. I believe this was our first "bad" tornado of the season. Before this one, we had a rain storm with damaging winds - knocked out power and damaged property with falling and flying trees.

Not Oklahoma but I just got my walkway cleared of a large limb that dropped in Thursday evening's wind storm. Much smaller stuff to pick up everywhere. At least it's going to be cooler (low 80s) today.
