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.

oh good thank god everybody is ok!! prob a wind gusts moved ur grill but i dont think u were hit by a tornado.

we actually have sirens around here cuz we do get twister not usually but we do. last spring we got 3! not bad ones just f1 and f0 and i think one f2..i know its weird but we do get them..sometimes and RARELY!!

well im very happy that u and ur family r safe and well!

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 ...
