    the guy holding up the power cables is doing the most dangerous thing i could imagine, I don't know if its the same in the US but here in UK the power companys will try to reset the circuit breakers remotely if they can to see if they hold in if they do not know what the damage is as you will probably have noticed when we have a power outage the power comes on for a second or 2 a couple times before the power stays off or on. I can envisage an engineer trying to reset the power breakers if they do not know what the cause is as a tornado is a very local event and somebody several miles away may not know what has happened so always assume the cables are LIVE or may become live so please no one even think of lifting what may be live power lines

    not long now Pete....

    Are you more prepared this time around?

    I am always prepared !!! cameras are ready to roll last year was a learning excersise

    i also have a 12.45 flight to Housten never mind i think i paid an extra 11 pounds on that flight to change it let me off first $70 but problem would be the flight back from Housten with a differant airline mind thats not till 18.05 so there would be some scope to fly to Housten from another airport still we will see on the day, mind the airlines themselves may change the flight times they have done it to me in the past

    That is interesting Pete. Thanks for sharing it. Tom
    noticed they have updated recently "OKLAHOMAS SECOND LARGEST TORNADO OUTBREAK" to think we was right in it !!!!

    copy from NWS website:The National Weather Service in Norman is in the process of compiling information on the tornado outbreak that occurred across central Oklahoma on May 10th. Here are some things that we know, and some important things to remember:

    • A total of 35 tornadoes have been docuemented in the NWS Norman County Warning Area, and additional tornadoes occurred in eastern Oklahoma in the NWS Tulsa County Warning Area. This will be the second largest tornado outbreak documented in Oklahoma (the largest outbreak occurring on May 3, 1999.)
    • Analysis continues which may modify some of the information or paths of the tornadoes.
    • Thirteen different storms produced tornadoes.
    • The tornado damage paths are spread over a north-south area of over 200 miles from near the Kansas-Oklahoma border to near the Red River.
    • Very large hail was reported in several locations, up to the size of softballs (4.25").
