Oklahoma is getting it now. Major tornado outbreak.
« on: May 24, 2011, 03:23:17 PM »
It just blew over my place. I hoping we're  behind it now.

Multiple large tornados popping up from Witchita Falls Texas all the way across the state to south central Kansas.
Already around 10 fatalities, not sure about injuries. Lots of building damaged.
There were a bunch of RV'ers up at Canton lake that got thier rigs blown away. :'(

Saw some pictures of some damage. Just long tracks of clear stripped earth. :-[

Duncan got lots of wind and a sprinkle.
Sure could use a good rain but I don't need the twisters or the hail.

Just saw something on tv that is incredible.
A volleyball sized hail, kind of egg shaped but huge.

And it's heading towards Joplin Missouri, again.  Tornado Alley.

What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.
