The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
-Psalm 19:1

Do you know that God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash?

Oklahoma tornadoes

Unfortunately for a specific area in Oklahoma... it seems the sites of the storm were set on that area.... and it appears the most dismal scene is in Lone Grove, OK, where a powerful tornado is reported to have taken 15 lives.

2105 3 WSW EDMOND OKLAHOMA OK
TORNADO LASTED APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES. TORNADO WAS CONFIRMED BY BROADCAST MEDIA. TORNADO APPEARED TO TRAVEL THROUGH THE NW SIDES OF EDMOND. RECEIVED DAMAGE REPORTS ON (OUN)

2235 3 S PAWNEE PAWNEE OK
TWO BARNS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. DEBRIS SCATTERING SEEMS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH DAMAGE CAUSED BY A TORNADO. (TSA)

0025 5 E RINGGOLD MONTAGUE TX
TORNADO CAPTURED ON VIDEO BY STORM CHASER BETWEEN 625 PM AND 630 PM. ONE STRUCTURE DESTROYED. (FWD)

0130 LONE GROVE CARTER OK
*** 2 FATAL, 25 INJ *** LARGE TORNADO TRACKED FROM WESTERN LOVE COUNTY ACROSS CENTRAL CARTER COUNTY CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE... PARTICULARY IN THE LONE GROVE AND ARDMOR (OUN)
With the radar signatures as strong as they were, I would have expected more reports of tornadoes, but the ones that did occur were powerful and deadly. God be with all those impacted.

  1. Man, we busted pretty bad yesterday. We were in Wichita Falls for initiation, but for some reason decided not to follow the storms across the river into Oklahoma. The two storms that we let go went on to produce tornadoes. I will have an account up on my blog sometime today with a couple of photos.
