Tornado getting ready to come into Norman. 5:30 pm

[Section22Sooner]

It's been a rough afternoon SW of OKC again.

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Yeah I heard that my old stomping ground Chickasha was under a warning. Like danger danger Will Robinson!

Levity aside, everyone stay safe now, ya hear?

 

[Section22Sooner]

Looks like Bridge Creek got it again.
The turnpike got it. Too early for damage reports.

Radar is very defined. But too rainy to see exactly what is happening. It's at Western and Robinson 5:45pm. North of Sooner Mall.

 

[Section22Sooner]

5:55pm
NW Norman getting it.
36th st and W. Tecumseh.

SE Moore is next.

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Dammit!
Not again...WTF?

 

[Section22Sooner]

6:04 It's crossing I-35 between south of the York Plant (Johnson Controls) and Robinson. Still not certain how severe it is because of the rainfall. But there are power flashes.

Just my opinion.... I'm just watching the tube... but it seems like a weak 'nader right now.

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Just curious 22, are you still on?

Report plz.

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Dad gum it, hitting around Tuttle!
Incidentally, some of the best quail hunting in the whole world there, but I digress.

 

[Section22Sooner]

Some damage in Norman, but it doesn't look like any buildings were knocked down. Power poles, roofing and skins torn off businesses. Bridge Creek lost the fire dept building. New storms back west (W of Chickasha) putting down small tornado right now. 7:00pm

Hope Medic is able to chime in. You can bet he is busy tonight.

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Oh my, you're right.

I wouldn't want to be 'Medic' tonight. Wow!

I saw 'Twister'. Those peeps are brave ole souls.

 

[Section22Sooner]

7:35pm It ain't over yet. Lots of 'naders briefly touching down then going back up into the clouds... following the same path. Bridge Creek could get it a second time. BTW - Bridge Creek got hit hard with that earlier tornado. Lots of homes are gone.

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Weather channel reporting Bridge Creek getting hit AGAIN in one night.
What the hell, that's just so wrong on multiple levels.

How large of a town is Bridge Creek? I've never heard of it.

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Eh, it's just a wide place on the highway really.
Large lots, some high end homes, but nevertheless, they've been getting slammed regularly since the 1999 onslaught.

 

[Section22Sooner]

I'm 8 miles north of Bridge Creek. Before it was hit in 1999, (many killed that May 3rd day) it had very nice homes. It went a bit down hill when they rebuilt. But still an OK place. Until today. 8:05 pm there are still 'naders happening. Mustang tornado si-reens are blasting right now. Unbelievable amounts of rain and flooding.

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Mmm, damn.
Sorry to hear that 22, I'm sure, the astute, smart guy you are, you have a fraidy hole to jump into?
At any rate, don't some be some kind of hero or whatever.

Just saying.

 

[Section22Sooner]

Get this.... Wild Tiger Safari Animal Farm in Tuttle got hit by a tornado tonight. Wild Tigers are on the loose. They're warning people to stay in their houses.

I picked a bad day to quit sniffing glue.

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Unbelievable.

Wild animals?
That is something I had never considered.

Nucking futs!

Dang................

 

[Medic007]

Norman is OK. Minor damage with no injuries. Flooding is a major issue. Bridge Creek is a mess again. Nothing like 1999 though.

I'm officially done with David Screamer Payne. I'm embarrassed for Channel 9 that he is the guy they chose to replace Gary England. He actually said "tornadoes are breathing animals trying to survive." He's just a more wound up version of Mike Morgan and is trying the juice it up for ratings route. Disgraceful.

 

[K2C Sooner]

Okay, I'm a little confused. Why didn't the lady that drowned just open and escape the safe room when it started leaking?

There was incredible amounts of rain last night. Like 7 to 12" of rain in a short time. I saw water in places I've never seen it before. So my GUESS is there was a lot of water sitting on top of that door and she could not push it open. At 8.33 pounds per gallon, it may have been too much for her. Maybe she passed out from fear. We'll never know.

Guys, there is the possibility of major strong tornadoes in our state today and on Saturday. They could be could be long tracked. Pay close attention to the TV and know where you would seek proper shelter. They could move with significant forward ground speed…. so your lead time may not be as much as normal.

[gsxrace01]

you could be like the 2 idiot storm chasers who pulled over and waited for the tornado under a bridge,it's was only moving 15-20mph straight down the hwy,but they said they couldn't outrun it.
