Watching the Weather Channel right now. Looks... sporty. Suppose to be more of the same tomorrow.

"Looks sporty"

Hey you local guys , US 69 is closed in Pryor due to flooding , don't ever remember that happening . Large boulders have washed onto the road around Leonard , Tulsa is going under water , not a drop of rain here yet . Cedar Vale is dealing with a LOT of water .

You be safe there Dusty.

Now is not a good time to take up kite surfing.

4 to 6 inches of snow here in Colorado Springs, maybe more to come overnight. Lots of tree damage, I-25 closed north of town.

Don't want to end up in KS w/o a boat. The house pretty much getting a moat around it. My main sump pump is running every 20 seconds. Raining moderate at this time. Have had close to five inches since noon yesterday.

According to the Oklahoma Mesonet weather site, we've had 6" in Edmond in the last 24 hours. And it's still raining pretty heavy now and for a couple more hours. Then sunny and windy this afternoon. Boy am I ready for a break from the rain. Next 5 days show chances of thunderstorms everyday. Monsoon season for sure.

The ride into work this morning was OK except for the rain running down inside the collar of the rain jacket a bit. Fortunately I keep a clean shirt in my desk for such situations. It was coming down pretty hard.

I'd quit complaining about our midwest wx, but we still can't get into the fields to plant and time is running out for corn. Haven't flown all year. (!) We've only been able to mow some of the runway so far.
Mother Nature is totally aggravated I think.

Yep. We've been dealing with high winds and torrential rains since around 1 PM, yesterday. The Neosho River goes right by town, and it was already swollen to it's banks after it flooded, a couple of weeks ago, so the north end of town is going underwater. Also, I no longer have a drivewway. Drainage ditch behind my property is overflowing, turning it into a river.

troyhamilton · « **Reply #12 on:** May 21, 2019, 08:05:30 AM »

I think ill watch Sharknado today...cant order the rest of my parts for the deer slayer till the 31st. this rain and storms has slowed my work down.

Chuck in Indiana · « **Reply #13 on:** May 21, 2019, 08:39:33 AM »

I was just looking at the radar. Tons of possible tornadoes.

Pay attention, you guys..

Guzzistajohn · « **Reply #14 on:** May 21, 2019, 08:52:22 AM »

Our power was out from 10:30 to 2:00AM. Big wind and rain. The grandstand @ Lucas oil speedway in Wheatland got totally destroyed. 11 injuries also. More on the way today. You Okies can keep your weather. We've had enough.

Oh, Barb's in Lake George, Co, 8 inches of snow yesterday.

oldbike54 · « **Reply #15 on:** May 21, 2019, 09:10:34 AM »

Talihina OK is in the path of a radar indicated tornado , hope the park survives .

As is normally the case , the worst of the storms split around Muskogee , although we are flooding at the moment . Water rescues happening all around Eastern and Central OK , Tulsa schools are closed as are many local districts . Conditions are setting up for us to have another year of 70" plus rainfall .

This was last week’s level when I rode by there...I’m guessing it’s going to come over the banks now!

Dusty...you were pretty relaxed yesterday...today’s a different story I bet!

Stay safe!!

I can't believe we just completed a Route-66 by moto. April 24 to May 4. I complained about two hours of light drizzle around St. Louis. Talk about a narrow window of opportunity! I need to buy a lottery ticket.

A shelf cloud = one of two kinds of arcus clouds.

"some of the most dramatic arcus formations mark the gust fronts of derecho-producing convective systems" -- wikipedia/arcus clouds.

One of those derechos was blowing train cars off the tracks when I went down to your region for a tour.

Stay safe! Hunker down!

In Oklahoma the sound of storm sirens is the signal for everyone to go outside and look for the tornado . Sirens sometimes lead to neighborhood block parties

That's what it still looked like, here, with all of the creeks emptying into it and the floodgates upriver at John Redmond Reservoire being wide open, so we've already got a lot of flooding from it.

I'm still relaxed , managed to get the storm drain just South cleared out so the water could recede , just a gentle rain at the moment .

Probably can't get a bonfire started right now

Spoke with the mayor of Cedar Vale , Hewins Park is underwater for the first time in years

Still dry under the pavilion .

It was a rainy evening here. Glad the severe stuff went around us. It cooled off before the storms could build here. I see it was 45 this am in Amarillo (250 miles west of here). I have friends in Colorado that sent me photos of hummingbirds flying while it's snowing.

My tomatoes just look like heck. One nice fruit was knocked off and leaves frayed.

Heading down Rt 66 to Luther with the ride to dinner group tonight. I hope the road isn't flooded. I discovered that the Luther Police Chief is a Ducati rider. Luther was a notorious speed trap.
