    Multiple Tornadoes - OKC 5/31/13

    Geesh, OKC again.
    Multiple tornadoes.
    Looks like one is heading for north Moore.
    One bearing down on Tinker AFB.
    Power lines down everywhere.
    Traffic stalled everywhere.

    Multiple accidents reported by the OHP on the Interstates.
    Traffic at a standstill.
    Mike Bettes and crew from the Weather Channel were caught in their car.
    Sounds like they were thrown almost 200 yrds.
    Car totaled, but they reported they were all okay.

    Thoughts and prayers with those folks down there tonight.

    Had my eyes glued on GRLevel3, RadarScope, and the live stream from KOCO in OKC all night. Looks like things are finally settling down a bit. Whew!


    OKC dodged a huge bullet. If the main area of rotation would have stayed together, it probably would have been the "big one" they've been making TV shows about. It would have been magnitudes worse than what we saw in Moore.

    You're looking at "Tornado Alley" in tornado season...................been happening since Methusla wore diapers.

    I had been making tentative plans to relocate myself to Wichita, KS after noting while there for the AVSIM conference just how much nicer, cleaner and best of all CHEAPER it is there...

    ...said tentative plans having now come to a screeching halt since the events of the past few weeks. Darn shame as I'd already found a really nice 3 bed, 2 bath home for only $225/month rent, which is precisely 1/2 of what I'm paying now for a clapped out, 2 bed, 1 bath shack here in Hammond, IN! :isadizzy:

    I few out of Oklahoma City's Will Roger's Airport about a half an hour before they evacuated the airport terminal due to the Tornados. I had a right side window seat as plane skirted the south side of the storm at about 8,000 AGL as the storm cell approached Oklahoma City. I could see lots of lightning in the storm with much of it striking the ground.

    My prayers and best wishes to all the victims of this latest round of super storms.
    Keep your airspeed up,
