There are currently 5 different tornado warnings at the moment.......about 1.5 hours until it starts to get to the west side of the Tulsa metro area.

Thankfully we have a friend just down the street with a storm shelter.

So we now commence an Okie tradition, start drinking while you watch the sky and wait for the storm to roll in.

Thanks folks! Still a few minutes out, but for now it looks as though the Tulsa area is going to catch a break.

Almost makes us feel a bit faulty considering OKC got hit by another tornado just about an hour ago.

We did luck out guys, the tornadic storm fell completely apart right before it got here.

As I said, I almost feel guilty the way the OKC area has been pounded over the last 10 days. This has been a pretty crazy few days.

As soon as I heard the name, my heart dropped. Same time and tornado that the others escaped in the video you posted. RIP guys, your work has helped save many others.
