storm season already

A tornado touched down in north OKC today. It did a lot of damage but so far it doesn't seem to have caused to have caused any fatalities. Three minor injuries. It sucked a man out of the window of his mobile home, but it didn't kill him. They don't know what it is on the F scale yet, but the meteorologist I watch thinks it will be an F3. 

Josh called me first thing this morning to let me know there was a tornado watch, but my weather radio had just awakened me and I had the TV on to the weather alert. He called me off and on during the day to make sure I was still okay. He's such a good guy. He was watching the weather coverage while he was at work.

This is only February and this was a serious storm. Storms like this don't usually hit until the spring, which definitely isn't in February. I have no idea what this means for the storm season this year, if this is an El Niño or La Niña year. I'm just glad that, if the storms are going to be like this, I live in OKC cause the weather coverage here is top rate. You can watch it on TV, get it simulcast on your car radio, get it on the web and I can also kinda get it on my iPod.  

On a different note, I ended up watching the presidential speech at 3 a.m. on Fox, who showed it with the press conference afterward. I never thought I would be thanking Fox for anything political.
