LIVE: Tornado warnings near Oklahoma City
3:25 PM, May 30, 2013
(WXIA) -- Tornado warnings have been issued for areas near Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Oklahoma after storms popped up in areas ravaged by storms early last week.
A new tornado watch was issued early Thursday afternoon for parts of Oklahoma and other states through the nation's midsection as part of a severe weather outbreak.
The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma, issued the watch as one of several in an area expecting severe weather running from north Texas to upper Wisconsin and Michigan.
The watch statement said that people in the watch area may face threats from intense tornadoes along with very large hail events, with hail up to 3 inches in diameter, and damaging wind gusts exceeding 70 mph.

check in later so we know you are okay. I'm all worried for you now 
It is nice to know somebody out there cares.
Our little place is fairly well protected by the geography/geology.
We live on a the crest of a razor back ridge.
There are a series of razor back ridges to our west.
While we get some powerful straight line winds across the hill top,
the succession of ridges to our west tend to disrupt circulation.
The tornadoes tend to pass through the valley to our south,
along with the only main highway in this area, Hwy 71.
The towns I mentioned above are all along this two lane highway in the valley,
the path of least resistance.
We follow a storm protocol at our house when heavy T-Storms approach.
We completely unplug all electronic equipment (computers, TVs, stereos, etc.)
to avoid damage from lightening strikes,
so it gets a little boring. We love to read, but that is hard to do with the Emergency Radio blaring.
I'm sitting at a notebook, on battery, with a battery cell link watching the weather radar and listening to the county emergency radio.
with nothing else to do, so I thought I would "Live Blog".
My wife and I are active Volunteer Fire Fighters and Emergency Responders for our rural dept, and my Wife is the only Medical First Responder for 60 square miles.
We thought we were going to be dispatched, but so far, we are just standby.
It is nice to know somebody is Out there,
and cares.
If you are ever in this neighborhood,
drop in for Green Beans & Cornbread!
doing, I feel better now 
I'm a New Yorker, never been in a tornado but they scare the hell out of me. And I worry about everyone in their path, especially my DU friends 
I LOVE Southern food - can you send those beans and cornbread to NY? 
to you and your wife.
