During the past two hours a tornado has caused more excitement and damage than anybody would expect in February. That's the thing about living in Tornado Alley, we can never let down our guard, no matter the time of year.
Too much excitement for me! Schools on lockdown, huge hail, rotation circling over my neighborhood and hitting less than a mile away... ugh. Our favorite shopping center and restaurant is badly damaged along with Shelby's place of employment. Friends are missing chunks of their roof.
Fortunately, there are no injuries reported.
We are home and safe. John and Shelby gathered up some hail stones but otherwise everybody is hanging close.
It sounds like the weather fun is just beginning. There is a whole line of storms still heading for us! I'm getting too old for this....!

Update: News this morning is, although the Oklahoma City metro area had no reports of major injuries, there may be as many as 15 people dead in the northeast part of the state. :(
I hate that.

Tornado lockdowns. I have no fond memories of that. Glad you all are okay.
Thanks. It was rather scary for awhile this time. It came a bit too close for my liking.
