Stay safe GAF. I would love to see a twister from a distance but holy shit they're powerful and unpredictable. Hope you're all ok.

 

[AJUMP23]

Protect yourself.

I've got you covered. I'm in the UK and just took one of these out of my fridge...

From your safe distance, if you look really hard, you might see it in my hand.

 

[Paasei]

Be safe guys. Here's hoping the tornado's skip and stay far away and if they won't they don't contain sharks.

We had our first Tornado in decades near us a few weeks ago, did not make it to our house about 5 miles south of us.
Home insurance went up big time this year.

I got to spend about 30 minutes in our shelter (aka interior closet) as one storm was dangerously close. If you hear news about destruction in Blanco, OK or Hartshorne, OK on any national news media, that's near me. Our cats were incredibly displeased with the accommodations.

At the same time the bigger boy was rolling towards Hartshorne, a smaller one went across the south side of my town, McAlester. Edit: Both were "confirmed observed" tornadoes by spotters or law enforcement but the rating on the EF scale hasn't been determined by NWS yet.

As soon as our sirens turned off, local first responder Facebook pages were posting about search and rescue efforts.

Update Edit:
The National Weather Service has preliminarily rated the larger tornado that went just south of me as an EF-3. It was a long track tornado that began just west of the county line went across our entire county and kept going through the next county east, and maybe even further into Arkansas.

Here's some aerial footage of the aftermath from News 6 Tulsa:

I just can't fathom living anywhere where nature can come fuck me up, the thought of losing everything in an instant be it the fires in LA, tornados in the ops home town or hurricanes in Florida... fuuuuuuuuuk dat shit, i get nervous when we have "storms" here in ireland and my 60ft tree flops around but if it falls its just hitting gardens and i get flustered thinking about how much of pain in the hole it's going to be to clear up a fucking tree let alone walking out onto a street with no houses left, don't know how you madlads live near these areas

[AJUMP23]

[BlackTron]

Not this shit again.

I hope Canada sends help

I'm in a suburb of Tulsa. Many of my co-workers and family got hail. I just got some rain and dark clouds for a couple of hours. As usual, the bad storms hit the smaller towns where there's plenty of wide open land for the storms to gather energy.

Here is the part where the Tornado hits the storm chaser.

You actually have to be crazy to be a stormchaser.

 

[Hookshot]

I'm guessing it's some sort of sensors he fires at it?

Yeah, I legitimately forgot he passed.

Such a great movie. There's an actual "Twister The Movie Museum" in Wakita, Oklahoma.
