I am reading the scanner thread...too hard to listen to the scanner.

But sounds like there is some real damage...a bridge washed out or something? I don't know, don't want to post stuff from there here of course.

Anyone listening to local news????

I agree! Maybe it's best Lyndsey and her boyfriend didn't try to leave by car. I'd rather she be in an interior lower level closet than on the highway.

Lyndsey texted daughter she and boyfriend will be buying a storm shelter. They are still in the closet.

Show Me, anything further from Lyndsey?

Sunny Lane and Center/Sooner Road.... Indian Hills... another tornado on the ground, just lost all power there.
