URGENT Oklahoma storms watch & learn

[Mortblanc]

This system has been churning around for a couple of days already and has just now gotten well organized. It will sweep across the plains states for a couple of days as it heads east.

These storm systems are as large as the UK, if you can imagine such. When they start moving there is not escaping them, no bugging out and no buying gear to cope with it. Being underground in a concrete bunker is the only safe place, then you just hope nothing blocks the door.

These systems spawn hundreds of funnel clouds, each capable of wiping out small towns and doing great damage, as well as creating funnels a mile wide on occasion.

The winds are in excess of 200 mph and drive pieces of lumber through trees, overturn cars and simply make houses evaporate.

We had one about 2 mile from my home last year that moved a 2,500sq/ft home 100 yards and set it down in a field intact. It hit a small development of 300 homes and not a single home escaped major damage.

As for hoping everyone is OK, that is not going to happen. Sometimes these systems kill hundreds. The storm that set down near me last year killed 25.
