Mile+ wide tornado moving east at 25mph twenty miles west of Oklahoma City. My meteorologist buddy is sure OKC is going to be destroyed. Other tornados currently being formed west of Oklahoma City. This is some Day After Tomorrow shit.

Tornado warning is over here. We rode our bikes home in the rain right before it started hailing. There's a lot of power out but not at my apartment! Drinking time.

Watch these idiots drive right into one of the tornados from earlier today (1m44s):

Guy in the passenger seat DOES REALIZE that this is the job he signed up for? If I were his boss, I would fire him for being a puss and tell him to find a job as a kitty cat hunter or something...
-
My entire neighborhood is trashed. Luckily we weren't home. No damage to my house but the tornado touched down maybe a 1/2 mi from my house. Took us 45 min to get home (from 5 mi away). Some homes destroyed but not leveled like in Okla. Lots of roofs and siding gone, trees gone, fencing gone, etc.

They're learning.

Glad to hear no Boritos were harmed during this disaster.

Left the neighborhood today to realize that we were directly in the path. A mile and a half down the street is all sunshine and rainbows. No debris, no damage, no trees down, nothing. There is a distinct line between what was affected and what wasn't, like driving into the rain.
I saw the worst of the damage on my way home, so when I got home, I thought we were in the clear. No, my elderly neighbor had a tree come through his bedroom. Another neighbor pulled the pizza delivery guy in and into the basement as a tree came through their house. Our little branch hanging down is actually a 35x35 foot branch of a 150 foot tree. It's just dangling off the tree about 30 feet from our house and the bedroom of our neighbor's newborn baby. If it falls, it will probably take out more of the fence, the pool, possibly our deck/part of our houses, and would easily kill a person or our dogs. Tried to get it down for hours this weekend and it's just too far up. The County had everyone pull their trees to the curb to be picked up, so you can barely drive down the street. Shingles and siding and shit all over. There is just destruction everywhere we look.
On one hand I feel lucky because we aren't hurt. But this is the exact same path a storm-turned-tornado took when our airport was hit a couple of years ago. I've lived here my whole life and remember one really bad storm with tornado potential as a kid, but now it's every year or so. This was an EF3 tornado with a 22 mile path yet we had zero warning sirens until after it was here. People were running into their basements before sirens even went off while entire floors of their homes were taken out. It's very unsettling.
I guess it doesn't help that the baby was really sick before the storm, and since we had no power after the storm, she had to go to my parents' house 30 miles away. After she got there, she developed a horrible rash. Well wtf can I do? I'm in a disaster area far from her. I have no way to charge my phone and our cell service is spotty, so I'm trying to tell my mom who to call and try to figure out if she should go to the ER. I haven't seen her in 2 days and I have to try to go back to work tomorrow. We still have so much shit to clean up around here, and we really can't do much. The whole thing has been very overwhelming. I've never lived somewhere where Red Cross is driving through, and assholes from out of state are driving through trying to rip people off for clean-up assistance.
Plus all my friends are inconsiderate assholes, as usual. My husband's friends are generally good people, and some actually came over to help clean up, but I probably could've gotten sucked away and my friends wouldn't notice. Who has two thumbs and was her own DD for her 21st birthday? This girl... :(

:(
Time for a move. And new friends!

I'm glad your family is safe Len; the baby is in safe hands, so while naturally you're concerned about being separated for her you also know she's being taken care of. That's a good feeling I'm sure. Hang in there and good luck :'(
-
:( thanks guys
-
I'm glad to see midwest bore is doing okay after these tornados
I hope everyone I used to work with in St. Louis is doing okay :(
-
I thank all the pasta that lennedsey, her baby, her hubby, and all of her brown friends are okay.
-
Two families in western OKC left their homes and hid in a storm drain and drowned when the high waters came.
Is this something people are told to do? I can understand being scared for your life and trying to hide somewhere, but this doesn't sound like a good idea.
edit: The article make it sound like they hid under a bridge. Guess my definition of what a storm drain is is different.

The National Weather Service has just upgraded the May 31 El Reno, Union City tornado to an EF-5 with a width of 2.6 miles wide, making it the widest tornado ever documented.
EF-5 is the highest possible rating for tornadoes on the Enhanced Fujita scale.
The upgrade was based on information from a Doppler On Wheels (DOW) that measured low level winds of 296 miles per hour.
:kobeyuck
If that tornado had cut to the north just a little bit sooner, it would have been incredibly devastating:

. . .But that measurement. That Doppler on Wheels isn't the truck that those three Twistex chasers were in, was it?
They were both featured on that Storm Chasers TV series, but I don't think they're actually associated with each other.

The little arrows moving around are storm chasers.

So... The takeaway here is "People are dumb"?
-
There are SO MANY of them, though. Aren't there more of them than needed? What percentage of them are thrill seekers?

Jeez, friends picked a great time to get stationed at Tinker. :-\
