Only one other time in weather history has a “PDS” been issued

Poor Moore, OK, they were brutalized exactly six years ago today:

“On the afternoon of Monday, May 20, 2013, a large and extremely powerful EF5 tornado ravaged Moore, Oklahoma, and adjacent areas, with peak winds estimated at 210 mph, killing 24 people and injuring 212 others.” - Wikipedia

They’ve closed their schools and most likely plenty of businesses as well

Hang tough, everybody

It actually is getting brighter outside, but now the weathermen are saying to be home by 4 pm, because it's supposed to start firing off after that, throughout the night, into tomorrow morning at least.
