Well...
'That' was interesting...
Last night got a bit 'sporty' for about 1 1/2 hours as we had a major weather 'event' move through Tiny Town...
We got a little over an inch of rain in about an hour, and two reported tornadoes, one a few miles south of us, another a few miles northwest of us, and a 'lowering' coming right at us.
Highest 'sustained' winds were measured at 70 mph (straight line), and of course we were put under 'flood watch' as soon as the tornado warnings had dropped. We were also 'featured' on Ryan Hall's YouTube channel, which is something you NEVER want to see.
I had the computers off, TV off, and kept watch from the garage until the winds started blowing rain six feet into the garage and power started flickering.
So no, I don't have any pictures of the weather mass, and videos of rain never show well, sorry about that.
This is an after the fact shot of what ran over us last night taken about an hour later. The 'stuff' over Lawton is what hit us going NE at about 25mph, and it took a while for ALL that mess to go over.

I turned the computer on long enough to get this drafted and up, and I went to bed, because we were supposed to get hit again about 0400.
Bottom line, we're all okay, just a tad wet...
Welcome to life on the dry line... sigh



So. My take away? Never go outside in your pajamas with a camera to try to get a picture of a tornado. A carry-over of NATOPS into civilian life? I think so. BZ.
PA got hit hard yesterday too. I work for a power utility that owns assets up there and looks like I'm going to find myself on storm duty, dispatching crews.
I'm glad you came through that all right! I have sympathy for those in the line of fire!
