Everyone!

Tornado sirens are going off, and there's quarter-sized hail assaulting us

Storm approaching. FAST. Just 40 minutes ago it was just started to cloud over and sprinkle -- I raced home from class -

I don't know how long my laptop battery will last.

I LOVE YOU ALL

ETA:

Tornado just took out Northwest Edmond and OKC.

Heading my way.

Oh fuck.

*prays for Kino*

O_O!! ..........

The tornado was on the ground for ten minutes. Fortunately no deaths.

6 homes destroyed, many more damaged. We're lucky to be so rural. It apparently touched down, lifted over some homes, then touched down again in a field.

It's looking like rain and hail at this point -- we're going to get some flooding, maybe some baseball sized hail, but at the moment there are no wall clouds or strong circulating cells (the stuff that makes tornadoes).

I'm at work now. My shift doesn't start until 7.

There are more cells to the south. Weatherguy just said, and I quote, "Conditions are still right for development. We'll be watching these through the rest of the evening and into the night"

ETA:
Going to work now.

Think we'll be okay.

I hope.

Here's hoping for your safety.

*agrees* Stay safe, Kino.

I watched several news reports about it on my own tv. I just kept thinking about ou, Kino, and praying you would be alright.
