As many of you know, I’m a pure weather geek – have been since I was 5 years old and when I saw my first tornado in 6th grade at Haskell Middle School in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma… I was hooked. Sadly, as of tonight, 5 people have lost their lives but considering this was one of the worst outbreaks in decades, we’re lucky. Yes, the death toll will probably climb, 40,000 Oklahomans are without power as over TWENTY-TWO tornadoes touched down from Oklahoma City all the way east and southeast to Arkansas and Texas. It was scary, awe-inspiring, sad and at the same time unstoppable to watch. Bravo to the men and women at NWS (National Weather Service) and The Weather Channel for doing a great job keeping all of us up to date on what was going on.

Here’s a 3 minute video montage of videos I collected on my TV as well as online (again, these are not mine; they were publicly shown on TWC and local news stations) just to give you a glimpse. More to come, I’m sure.

Why is this a blog post on the Moxie Mo Show? Because, if you read my Twitter or Facebook page, you’ll know that science, which is a part of technology, had this day predicted many days earlier. This goes to show that they’ve made huge steps in the right direction in predicting tornadoes which is hopefully why the death count is lower than it should have been.
