Indystorm Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Wow. Likelihood of all categories HIGH except for 65+kt. winds. I don't think I've seen this since 4/27/11. And 90/70 probs for tornadoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frick Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 JOMO - On days such as today do you camp out inside ready for cover or just go on with your plans such as errands? I ask because we are still just Medium risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 JoMo, do you normally watch the Bartlesville area to see if you're in the target line of given cell? When I was in Nashville, there were a couple NE Miss cities I looked for that would always put the storm on the right side of my city. I have GRLevel 3 so I just watch whatever gets close, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoMo Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 JOMO - On days such as today do you camp out inside ready for cover or just go on with your plans such as errands? I ask because we are still just Medium risk. I'm camping out today because I knew it would be bad. I have a shelter I can go to, it's stocked with everything already. I'm just waiting to go inside when a storm approaches. It's going to be a long day and I'm already exhausted from stressing. It's weird because I never thought much about storms before the May 2008 Picher storm. Then of course having the Joplin EF-4 (at the time) end up 3 blocks from you is a little... scary. Especially when you know where people died at and you saw what was left of the houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when you know where people died at and you saw what was left of the houses. Completely understandable. I guess you just have to remind yourself that the odds of your square-mile actually being affected are incredibly slim. Still quite obviously wise to have a good plan in place. Good luck.

Good luck. that's kind of a dangerous thing to say... you could say that about any area inside the tornado watch but the fact of the matter is every town in that watch area has an equal chance of being hit.

Wmsptwx Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Yea, I think in that situation..If I had nothing to do, and a reasonably good shelter I would ride it out at home until the danger has passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSUBlizzicane2007 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Possibly a little off topic, I'm not sure, but does anyone else think that the categorical risks in the Tornado Watch section should match those in the convective outlooks? I know it's measuring different aspects, but it just seems inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennyForYourThoughts Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Someone spoke earlier about the Softball tourney scheduled for this evening there in OKC, They have postponed the first pitch and will give everyone a 2 hour heads up before that first pitch happens. Was scheduled to start at 6pm. Also said many businesses are closing early and allowing employees to go home, Also, apparently a viewer told them that anyone in the clean up area from the past tornado in Moore...are asked to leave that area for the duration of the severe weather event.
