 No worries guys , Wagoner OK just North of me has a small twister on the ground , and the storm to the Southwest has passed by . Just didn't want anyone who saw this on the news got concerned .

 There is a car upside down in Wagoner , the stormchaser is checking on the situation , ... good , no occupants . The stormchasers pick up was rocking pretty good , those guys are brave , or crazy  :grin:

 Hey Rocker , are you watching this ?

If you don't have a pipe organ, Dusty, you could have had some fun putting a few of these whistles up around your eaves. Then you could tell when those nasty twisters are getting closer!



 :tongue: You take care anyways.

Or Dr Srangelove. . .

Dusty, remember what I told you on the phone when the twister was coming at me:

"I'M SCREWED!"

And I got through it.  You will too.

Hey Dusty,

Are the tornados usually morning events?  Or do they struck at any time?

 Glad you dodged the bullet, Dusty. I think the best weather people  in the world are in Oklahoma.  OR they end up here, if they are hard core weather junkies, poor bastages. My dad used to have a saying about storms. He would say that a "Horse that pees hard never pees long."   He never met an Okie horse.  :grin:

 Hey Rocker , are you watching this ?

 Dusty

Came through here about midnight.  Tornado Warning for Benton County and western Washington County.  The bad stuff passed Northwest of here, as it usually does.

Mainly thunder, lightning, and rain.  So, I went back to sleep...

The rotation tracked directly over my house. Never lowered though. A few limbs down in the neighborhood today, nothing serious.
Then again, when I was watching Predator I didn't think two members of its cast would become governors, either. So you never know.

No, but for some reason "Existential Blues" was running through my mind after the storm passed.
