Multiple mile+ wide tornados on the ground at the same time in Oklahoma. Pretty close to each other. I think a third was down a little south too, also big, but not a monster. Gonna be bad news I fear.

Sulphur is getting hit twice. The first one did considerable damage too.

I've seen the videos - Sulphur is gone.

Half of my team lives in the OKC metro. I was having to do accountability recalls all night long.

I just cannot imagine standing there filming it when the tornado is basically a block away and you see your swingset go flying by in chunks.

I was in undergrad and we had a week of terrible weather. Sirens went off about every night. One evening the skies turned green and I stood outside watching them in amazement. My roommates were telling me to come inside, which I eventually did. One touched down just outside of town. About a year later I met someone who lived a block from where it hit. She said it sounded like a freight train coming down their street (the family was in the basement when it struck and they had just a few branches down).
