05.20.13 | Several the last couple days across Oklahoma but an F-5 just hit southern OKC and Moore a couple hours ago destroying almost all of Moore. Shawnee county residential area was all but destroyed yesterday too.
The video of the F-5 that just happened is the worst I've seen in my 23 years here |
BrieLarson
05.20.13 | IT'S so bad and now we've still got several active super-cells statewide |
wacknizzle
05.20.13 | Moore got hit in 1999 with a tornado as well. The storm had the highest winds ever recorded near the earth’s surface. And they've already had another 5 rule through that town. I'm never living in Oklahoma. |
BrieLarson
05.20.13 | This is worse. 2 and a quarter mile wide tornado on the ground for 40 fucking minutes
I have less than an hour left before I have to try and take shelter |
evilford
05.20.13 | damn that's crazy. we got some bad weather yesterday but nothing like that today. yet...good luck |
wacknizzle
05.20.13 | Goddamn, hopefully you don't have to worry about that. Is it still that Tornado or is the supercell still spawning other twisters? |
DegausserGuernica24
05.20.13 | Holy fuck, this is even worse than Joplin, Tuscaloosa, and Greensburg. I'm fucking frightened. |
wacknizzle
05.20.13 | The past few Tornado seasons have been more intense than ever in the mid west |
DegausserGuernica24
05.20.13 | There weren't ANY tornadoes in March or April. I thought that this tornado season would be fairly weak. I was fucking mistaken. |

05.20.13 | my username |
BrieLarson
05.20.13 | Yeah it's about to hit here there's more than one supercell at least 3 or 4 right now |
BrieLarson
05.20.13 | This week is the peak of tornado season |

05.20.13 | good thing i don't live there. my dad used to live in Kansas though |
wacknizzle
05.20.13 | Well, if I were you and you don't have somewhere to go underground I'd say start digging a deep but narrow ditch deep enough to be able to sit in with your head underground. Then just find something to cover yourself with, even just a thick a blanket. Being underground is the safest place you can be in a tornado. These F-4s and 5's will devour a house or anything above ground in just a matter of seconds. |

05.20.13 | I have a bunch of relatives who live right outside of Tulsa, they moved there a few years back. They are right in the path. I hope they'll be okay. Crazy stuff. |
BrieLarson
05.20.13 | I live in tulsa I can't dig a ditch in the city |
BrieLarson
05.20.13 | all I can do is go in a closet . .. not good |
DegausserGuernica24
05.20.13 | Depends, does the closet have windows, and is not exposed to the outside world? If so, then the closet is your best way to
survive, dude. |
Decapod
05.20.13 | Heart goes out to you guys... Here in NJ we recently made it through hurricane Sandy so I feel ya, dude. |
ConorIsNotHere
05.20.13 | I don't really know what to say. Please stay safe man. |
NordicMindset
05.20.13 | yeah, just survived sandy here in NY, so can understand what you're going through, though this is probably worse |
BrieLarson
05.21.13 | It's all so sad. |
DegausserGuernica24
05.21.13 | Did anything bad happen? |
NordicMindset

BrieLarson
05.21.13 | Yeah Tulsa came out just fine we got lucky but the rest of the state didn't all around us but tomorrow I guess we're supposed to be prepared again. |
BrieLarson

Kman418
05.21.13 | damn man, hope ya make it through fine |
RogueNine
05.21.13 | Joplin is still worse; regardless, it's one of the worst things I've seen in my years of following severe weather. |
BrieLarson
05.21.13 | Regardless I think you're wrong |
PunchforPunch
05.21.13 | Well.. have fun! |

05.21.13 | Stay safe gibrone |
evilford
05.21.13 | well the death toll has been lowered to 24, there was some uncertainty and double-reported deaths. still, damn. I can't imagine everything being fine one morning and then my whole area just being decimated and that many people killed. scary and sad man.
rip |
RogueNine
05.22.13 | Storm, I only say that from a statistical standpoint (magnitude, extent, fatalities, what-not). But like evilford said, it's tragic no matter how you look at it. |
RogueNine
05.22.13 | Plus my comment was more or less directed at Degausser. |
ILJ
05.22.13 | Crazy shit. I'm a total weather nut and chasing storms is something I'm going to be doing here in the very near future, but shit like that is terrifying. I actually know people that were in meteorology club that were out there and caught really really good pictures of that tornado from the southern side as it developed. Nasty stuff for sure. Radar signatures of the storm were even terrifying if you know what they meant. The debris ball was easily the worst I've seen. |
BrieLarson
05.24.13 | I live in Tulsa and that is literally, exactly between OKC and Joplin. This is the path of tornado alley a lot but Tulsa has been lucky. |
