82BlackBeast · 05-08-2003, 08:42 PM

We had a few touch down just north of us last night, I heard they had an F5 touch down somewhere up by you today. Hope everything is ok!!!

84Stepper · 05-08-2003, 11:03 PM

Man those tornados always go towards Moore, I feel sorry for those poor people. Here in Edmond we always luck out it seems.

BigRed · 05-08-2003, 11:55 PM

I saw all that destruction on the news tonight! I hope all is well there in OK. Y'all always get hit the hardest. Although we do get our fair share down here.

chevychic · 05-09-2003, 12:15 AM

Ya'll are in my prayers.

I think I'll stay out here in Southern Oregon where the only thing we have to worry about are fires in the summertime. And those can somewhat be controlled....

apstguy · 05-09-2003, 12:50 AM

Stay safe!

I'll take a nice little earth quake over a tornado anyday....

79BIG10 · 05-09-2003, 04:41 AM

Glad to hear ya'll are okay. We called my inlaws in Anadarko and they we're okay as well. He had to go to work to help restore power to everyone up there. He's the powerline coordinator. Long night but great overtime.

rockman20 · 05-09-2003, 08:48 AM

I hope that everyone on the board is okay and safe.

Slonaker · 05-09-2003, 09:40 AM

I used to live in Altus Oklahoma when I was a kid. It seems like there was always a tornado nearby... I certainly don't miss that.

I hope everything misses you guys...

glad there have been no reported deaths. the bad weather sure helped business last night, as bad as that sounds. i love storms, i guess growing up in tornado alley all my life tornados dont scare me all that much, atleast they can give warning. granted i dont like anyone to get hurt or lose thier stuff.

PHOENIX · 05-09-2003, 01:05 PM

What is the exact "path" of tornado alley?

Anyone hear from Dave yet?

Prerunner1982 · 05-09-2003, 01:44 PM

tornado alley runs from about eastern new mexico, texas, okla, kansas, missouri, on up. at about that angle.

Well, he posted last night on the parts board around 10 pm and all the storms were gone by then. So I'm guessing they missed him.

LOHRTBT · 05-09-2003, 03:54 PM

yeah...Im here.

We had one hit about 2 miles or less from my work..right as I was posting.

There was one reported casualty but there was enough warning that very few people got hurt badly. Turns out it was a weak F4 Tornado and it was damn fast moving.....

messed up c-10 · 05-09-2003, 10:14 PM

Looks like we have more storms moving in. Hope everyone stays ok.

Prerunner1982 · 05-09-2003, 10:39 PM

yeah its heading right for dave... hold on Dave!!!!!!!!

brad2 · 05-09-2003, 10:56 PM

Geez......here we go again. I was doing pretty good till the storm sirens started going off. Now I'm a bit nervous.

Prerunner1982 · 05-09-2003, 11:05 PM

brad, looks like it might head just south of us, if you need to go somewhere my work has a walkin freezer 6-8" thick. i might be heading there. its heading towards Daves old house right now.

79BIG10 · 05-10-2003, 04:48 AM

I saw that as well. It went right over Yukon and Mustang. I hope everyone's okay.

Prerunner1982 · 05-10-2003, 03:37 PM

im still here, it came fairly close to me, went over my sisters houses, but apparently wasnt on the ground at the time. hope everyone else is ok. more storms in eastern ok, there are currently tornado warnings up towards tulsa at the moment.

79BIG10 · 05-10-2003, 07:01 PM

My wife's up there now to visit her parents. I'm hoping the weather stays clear now.

LOHRTBT · 05-10-2003, 07:29 PM

geesh!!! Missed me by like 1/4 mile!!!! Ok with no damage..my ex wife's car got beat up by hail....grrrr!

gchemist · 05-10-2003, 11:03 PM
