Had a tornado warning briefly in the very south of the county. For some reason this caused them to set off the sirens across the whole county...

We have even had them here in Maryland the last few years and that was unheard of when I first came down here.

Several trees down around the Bacon ranch. Our neighbor's tree fell across the power lines and knocked out power for the street. The broken wire end landed on our sidewalk and burned a hole through the concrete. It was pretty amazing to watch.

Pretty cool as long as it's just a sidewalk damaged, and that somewhere else....

What the power available on those lines can do is awesome.

I saw the December 5, 1975 F2 in Tulsie Town, OK.

Of course, if you're in Oklahoma over 15 minutes you'll probably see a tornado.
