    Its all over now. A few small tornados reported on the ground in my area, waiting to be confirmed. No injuries reported, light damage and trees down.
    Moore, OK got hit AGAIN! I don't know what it is about that town. 7 tornados in 16 years.

    From Wikipedia:
    Damage from tornadoes[edit]
    The city of Moore was damaged by significant tornadoes on October 4, 1998; May 3, 1999; May 8, 2003; May 10, 2010; and May 20, 2013, with weaker tornadoes striking at other times, notably May 31, 2013 and March 25, 2015. Moore is located in Tornado Alley, a colloquial term for the area of the United States where tornadoes are most frequent. About 20 tornadoes occurred in the immediate vicinity of Moore from 1890 to 2013.[18] The deadliest one was in 1999.
    The tornado, which occurred during the 1999 Oklahoma tornado outbreak, had an approximate recorded wind speed of 318 mph (512 km/h) as sampled by mobile Doppler radar,[20] the highest wind speed ever recorded on Earth.

    I think I had a tornado yesterday.
    Dropped 4" of new snow.
    Does that count?

    :thumbs: Hey Fox and Wildwest.....thanks for wishing me well. I made it thru the night without any issues other than a five minute hail storm. I left the Buffalo River early this morning and just arrived back home in East Texas. Every creek, stream and river along the way thru Arkansas and E. Texas were out of their banks. Must have been some serious rain throughout the night. :BrianK:
