Thanks for asking about us, Julie.
Yep, we're OK. Around here, no tornadoes, just severe thunderstorms, lightning, heavy rain and wind. The weathermen said there was hail, but I didn't ever see any. It started about 1:30 last night and went till about 7:00 this morning. It was supposed to just have the 1 storm go through, but then another popped up and we had another wave of storms. Needless to say, I was up most of the night watching the TV weather reports.

Since it's Memorial weekend and LOTS of people go camping this weekend around here (the OFFICIAL start of summer here), the weathermen were on a lot last night warning people who might be out camping on the lakes in tents and campers. One TV station in Tulsa has a radio channel, so you can hear the TV weather broadcast on the radio. Normally, the weathermen said they wouldn't usually be on as much as there wasn't much of a tornado threat, but because of the holiday weekend, they were on to warn people at the lakes.
We used to go every Memorial weekend, too. We have an RV and have rode out storms in it (NOT FUN!!!), but anymore the holiday weekends are when the "crazies" come out to camp and we don't usually go to the lake on the holidays. There usually isn't even 1 spot left at most of the campgrounds and there's usually a lot of drinking that goes on prompting fights, loudness, etc...not my idea of a peaceful camping trip. I prefer to go in the middle of the week. There's hardly ever anyone there and you have your choice of spots to camp...on the lake or not.

Gotta go make hamburgers to charcoal now. Yummmm!
Anyway, thanks for checking on us.
Patty

We had more storms last night! We normally have lots of storms, but this year seems to be more stormy than normal for us.

We got LOTS of rain, lightning and it thundered nearly all night long! Just a constant grumble all night, occasionally it would boom, but mostly grumbling thunder. I didn't stay up watching the weather reports like I did Monday morning, but didn't sleep well because of the constant thunder and the weather radio going off a lot for flood and severe thunderstorm warnings. It finally quit thundering about 5:30 this morning when our son was leaving for work.

And we have a 60% chance for more storms tonight!!! Oh, boy!!! Could I interest anyone in taking some genuine Oklahoma storms for their state? If you have a dry state, the storms are packed with rain!!! Anyone? LOL!!!

Saw a bit on the news last night, did not look good.
Sad for all the people losing their homes but even worse for
the loss of lives. Hopefull it will settle down soon.
