Oh, isn't it just crazy? No tornadoes here, but we've had storms off and on for several hours now. We're just in a "watch" and it's the storm that comes way up from OK. They said the warm air was being pushed northward. We seem to be getting the storms, but not the warm air.

The wind is blowing pretty good now in Owasso.

Well I havn't had time to update this thread after watching the Lakers go down to Boston, anyway numerous tornados today but the conditions weren't quite there to have the historic outbreak which they anticipated, 35 reports of tornados today and over 200 reports of winds (65kt+) and 144 of hail (2"dia)
