Based on pending weather in OK, I'll be adding 2 days grace to my 'I'm not looking for pix' timeline :)

Hope all is well. Again, good thoughts headed that way

WOW Now THAT was Close!!! 8:30 tonite a Tornado touched down 1 mile north and 3 miles east of my house. I stood in the back yard and watched roofs floating in the air and debris falling from the sky. That was Scary and Strange. We watched it coming for 30 minutes and then 1 mile from my house it turned and went straight East. When it turned the Tornado formed and touched down. I guess I wasn't meant to be. The wife was gettin REAL nervous!!! So was I!!!! More bad Weather predicted for tomorrow too!!!

Keep your head down buddy. My thoughts are with you and your family. I complain about a bit of snow in the winter. I'll take that over what you all are getting down there. Get some extra tie down straps.

I was watching the news earlier I saw that the tornado had touched down in Broken Arrow, and the first person I thought of was you. Glad to see you and your family is ok.

This is getting CRAZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I have NEVER seen a storm like the one that's hitting OKC right now. It looks like something out of a movie. Totally MASSIVE!!!! My Daughter is Scared to Death!!! It's all south of her but she's terrified by the clouds and the Darkness. Hope it loses some of it's power before it gets over here!!!!
