We are all still here and ok. Happy Tuesday didn't end up that way. What a day! It started out rather nicely, another no coat morning. But all of that changed in a blink of an eye. A few of our parents called the center telling us that the tornado sirens were going off in South OKC, just a few miles to the North of us.
This is what I did for the rest of the day. Warnings on TV, sirens blaring, TV reports of damage everywhere. Where was Paul, right on the fringe of the storm...eeekkk!
I was at my Dad's dropping Austin off for a visit. When I told him that there were tornados all over the metro, he said "seriously?" and then we turned on the tv set.
We got away with only marble size hail and heavy rain. The North OKC Target, Hobby Lobby and Chuckie Cheese were hit hard. Areas of Edmond were hit rather hard and many homes and businesses damaged in the Oak Tree area.
Then later after dark a huge tornado hit down south of us and so far 15 people were killed. Being a native of Oklahoma, you expect and plan for storms. It's just that we don't expect them in February. Anyway, we are well and accounted for and ready for the next time a big storm blows in. Please keep the many families that have lost loved ones, homes and businesses to the horrible storm.
