Stone's Ongoing Meteorological Predictions and Informational Whatnot

Are you taking pictures or video?
But you may want to hit your shelter or safe area soon though.

 

Too dark, and if it wasn’t too much rain still.

It’s pouring, gutters can’t keep up and are overflowing off the roof.

Sirens still sounding.

Two areas of concern to my south/south west.

Huge lightning strike just now, kids will probably be up soon.

 

Tried to get a photo but couldn’t.

Street is a river, water over the curbs and flowing fast.

 

Sirens again, two or three possible tornadoes now.

One south east (headed away), one due south (20 miles), and another south west (20 miles).

 

I hope you're in a shelter now!

 

Lol, sitting on the couch with the cat.

The lightning has been incredible.

Wind was really howling about 10 minutes ago.

 

Well east of me, classic tornado.

What you see by his hand is actually the radar picking up debris in the air.


The red and green here is the wind, red would be going away from the radar (south/southeast) and green is going towards the radar (north/northwest).



This one is serious.

 

Lost the dish, but can watch on my phone while the battery lasts.

Wind gusts there are over 100mph.

 

Dayum! Yeah I just heard and the tornado that just hit NE Oklahoma.. It just started to rain here.

 

@Drew RedBear be safe buddy.

Just rain for us from here on, until about 5am or 6am tomorrow.

I'm going to call it a night and get some sleep while I can.

 

Pilamiya kola, thank you. It's still quiet here for now. Glad it's passed you also.

Have a good night

 

Snoozed my alarm a couple times, now sirens going off again. Can’t snooze those.

Another line coming through, circulation heading into downtown Tulsa, 80+ mph winds headed that way.
60+ mph winds headed my way.

 

Wasn’t too bad this morning, just more torrential rainfall.

 

We luckily never got any tornado siren , but we're still under a watch. Same thing with the rain, we just got a short bit of it not too long ago. What's weird is there was a warning to the west of us, it canceled, skipped us, now one to the northeast of us.

 

That’s the same storm from the photograph I posted above.

 

That's some scary stuff. I'm glad it missed Joplin though, I don't think they could have survived another one like that

 

The plan was to keep Keystone Dam at 250,000 cfs through yesterday then start letting up on the flow.

Instead it keeps raining in southern Kansas and north central Oklahoma.
So yesterday evening the bumped up to 265,000 cubic feet per second, and this morning they raised up to 275,000 cubic feet per second.
Just shy of 2 million gallons per second.

They are planning on keeping it at this rate until Thursday.

More rain is forecasted this week, and it could be another couple inches. If so, I wouldn’t be surprised if they raise output up to 300,000 cfs.

Watch out Arkansas and Louisiana, we’re sending you some water.
