So glad you were safe; I've been thinking about our members in the path of that storm yesterday!

I live east of OKC, northwest a little of Shawnee. We had very high winds and hail and rain but no damage. I have a storm shelter in my front yard.

Jeanne, so sorry to hear they were close. I was up in Kansas north of Salinas when one came north but west of the family farm (I was visiting). Was absolute shocked that the A&W Root-beer stand no longer existed and 100 year oak trees pull out of the ground like twigs. Nice that you can be safe if one comes too close. Don't forget your DSM.

I was so sorry to hear of the tornado's, especially the one in Moore, OK that stuck a school, AGAIN ! I so miss having the Weather Channel that Direct TV now charges extra to watch when it was included in our package before.

So wonderful that you were prepared. Hopefully you won't have to use it a lot.

I guess I don't understand why in states where tornadoes are common, all housing should be mandated to have basements or old fashioned root cellars or weather shelters or whatever one wants to call them. Mobile parks should also be mandated to have a group type shelter. Especially now when the technology is so advanced that most of the time these phenoms scan be monitored well in advance and touchdowns pretty much forecast......might save lives....I live in Illinois and although not a regular threat, there have been times.........always lived in a house with a basement......
