Just remember to never and I mean never rely on the sirens for warnings (unless you have no other means of checking the weather.) They sound for the entire county whenever there is a tornado. I can't stand hearing sirens for a storm in Harrah  |

I knew Colleen was going to be tough enough. 
I saw some damage to some homes in the OKC area on the news here. I guess the news people looked for some toothless people who just had their trailers destroyed and couldn't find anyone. |

Actually, when I went to bed at 1:00 AM the map on the news station showed the storm had passed Mustang. So when I heard the sirens a half an hour later, I figured they were probably for Oklahoma County, not us. I'm not THAT brave   |

Well, now you know all about tornadoes, and you can start giving all the other posters advice on the many tornado threads. |

Tornado watch here until 9PM, not much longer to wait. Hopefully, everything will stay nice & quiet.
But radar shows that SE OK is having some heavy-duty thunderstorms ...
