All well here! I'd bet [MENTION=52559]TexasAg[/MENTION] is alright too. [MENTION=73580]Laubage[/MENTION], pretty sure he lives in south okc area, seems to keep getting it...he was fine after the big one on May 20th - but the south side of OKC got pounded last night again. Some areas got 12" of rain in 1 hour too.

Doing OK so far here. We've been getting weaker tornados here in the Tulsa area..... Poor people it OKC are getting it much worse. I heard on the news a couple more people were killed last night on the interstate. Sad and scary stuff. Thanks for the well-wishes and I'm glad to hear so far everyone else is OK.

Yes, of course. And when the sirens go off, we run outside to see what's going on. :cheers:

Living just North in the Wichita KS area I feel for my friends in Oklahoma. A couple Sundays ago a small F2 tornado formed and passed within 200 yds of our house. It went on to do some damage between me and Wichita. Nobody hurt and nothing compared to what has happened in Oklahoma. About a month ago the Wichita paper ran an article stating this years' storm season was going to be more active than normal - sadly, I guess it was right.

Same here; especially if you meet South of OKC.
I live near Dallas but grew up in Tulsa. When it looks like the shit's about to hit the fan in OK, I fire up the news9 app and watch the live stream of Gary England.

Ha. So true. I took Gary and other OK meteorologists for granted until I moved to KC and saw those amateurs try to handle a storm.

Here's an "Oklahoma tradition" of sorts:
The Gary England Drinking Game
Pregame
1. Everyone selects a storm chaser other than Val Castor. Every time Gary talks to your storm chaser, you take one drink. Take two drinks every time we see footage from your storm chaser. Take four drinks if your storm chaser says "tornado on the ground."
2. Everyone selects a county other than Pottawatomie County. Every time Gary mentions your county, you take one drink. Take two drinks every time we see footage from your county. Take four drinks if a tornado touches down in your county.
One drink
1. Take one drink every time Gary says the following:
"Hook echo" | "Updraft" | "Metro" | "Doppler radar" | "Wall cloud" | "Ranger 9" | "Underground" | "Mobile home"
2. When Gary gives a list of counties, take one drink for every county in the list.
3. Take one drink every time Gary interrupts a program. Take one drink if Gary says "You're not missing any of [program name]." Take one drink when Gary says "We'll keep you advised."
Two drinks
1. Take two drinks every time Gary says the following:
"Baseball-sized hail" | "Waterloo Road" | "Pottawatomie County" | "Deer Creek High School"
2. Take two drinks every time Gary mentions the following towns:
Altus
Burns Flat
Dill City
Gotebo
Hydro
Lookeba
Meeker
Mulhall
Oktaha
Olustee
Shattuck
Slaughterville
Tryon
Vici
Waukomis
Wayne (or Payne)
Weleetka
Wetumkah
3. Take two drinks every time Gary talks to Val Castor.
Three drinks
1. Take three drinks if we see footage from Val Castor.
2. Take three drinks if we see footage from Pottawatomie County.
3. Take three drinks if Gary mentions the following:
"Immediate tornado precautions"
"National Weather Service"
"Mesocyclone"
"Portable Radio"
"Take shelter"
"Tornado warning in effect until ..."
Four drinks
1. Take four drinks if Ranger 9 must land to refuel.
2. Take four drinks if Gary issues his own tornado warning, not recognized by the NWS or says the following:
"Will someone please answer that phone?" | "Do you see power flashes?"
3. Take four drinks if a shirt-less tornado victim is interviewed.
Finish your drink
1. Finish your drink if someone uses the word tornado as a verb or if Gary mentions the nearest cross streets to you.
2. If Gary says "We've lost Val," pour a little out for your homies and finish your drink.
