Tornado's 45 miles SW of Ok City.  Stay safe if any of y'all are in the area.

Answer me this: If you lived in Moore, OK, WHY would you stick around there?

My daughter is moving back today from Oklahoma. She can't wait to get outta that place.

Hopefully the winds will remain at her back and get her home quicker.

Glad she's headed home.  Talk about your bulls-eye for tornadoes; Moore/Norman/OKC certain has it lately. 

Get her home safely.

The tornadoes that hit Moore, Okla. in 1999 and 2013 were F5s.  

"The F scale rates a tornado from F0 all the way to F5 with a F5 tornado having the fastest wind speeds and causing the most damage."

I think it has something to do with the green-house gases emitted from trailers....has to be that...it creates a vacuum in the atmosphere that causes air to rush into the vacuum from all directions, which in turn creates a rotation of opposing wind forces, creating a tornado.  This is my hypothesis, that is why Oklahoma gets hit so hard all the time.
