I saw all that destruction on the news tonight! I hope all is well there in OK. Y'all always get hit the hardest. Although we do get our fair share down here.

Ya'll are in my prayers.
I think I'll stay out here in Southern Oregon where the only thing we have to worry about are fires in the summertime. And those can somewhat be controlled....

Glad to hear ya'll are okay. We called my inlaws in Anadarko and they we're okay as well. He had to go to work to help restore power to everyone up there. He's the powerline coordinator. Long night but great overtime.

I used to live in Altus Oklahoma when I was a kid. It seems like there was always a tornado nearby... I certainly don't miss that.
I hope everything misses you guys... Slonaker |

glad there have been no reported deaths. the bad weather sure helped business last night, as bad as that sounds. i love storms, i guess growing up in tornado alley all my life tornados dont scare me all that much, atleast they can give warning. granted i dont like anyone to get hurt or lose thier stuff.

yeah...Im here. We had one hit about 2 miles or less from my work..right as I was posting.
There was one reported casualty but there was enough warning that very few people got hurt badly. Turns out it was a weak F4 Tornado and it was damn fast moving.....
