whew-that was close. We went to the storm shelter across the street at a neighbors house. A big one was probably 5 miles away- far enough, but still too close for comfort. A few fatalities have been reported in the OKC metro area.
Lots of destruction. Nothing like Joplin, but for the people who've lost everything it's devastating. Still praying for those in Joplin.
They've been talking this up all day, but it still scares the poop out of me when it's here and you're packing your bags to go across the street- not knowing what you'll come home to.
I'm thankful we're OK.
Praying for all those in the path of all the potentially deadly storms. Scary stuff. Be safe everyone!!
Since we were bored sitting in the shelter listening to the hail and rain- here we are. I brought the dogs but not the bikes.

Tri Girl, I thought of you first (because I happened to remember where you were). Glad you and the dogs are okay.
Stay safe, everyone.At least I don't leave slime trails.

The dogs don't look worried--that's the key.
Guess I'll be sleeping in the basement tonight

Oh man, y'all be careful out there! Watching twisters is only fun when they're on TV.

Tri I'm so glad you are safe and your doggies too! Thank you for letting us know that all is well.
Mimi, AR will get the bad stuff tonight so check on your friend. Eastern Arkansas, Little Rock, Memphis, Indiana and a few other locations will be getting the brunt of the storm. I'll be ready to hunker down with the fur kids tonight. I'll try and post an update later when I get home.
