Hate to hear about your house, hopefully house is all good. Look on positive side one less cotonwood tree in Lawton. I lived on east side and my neighboorhood was lined with those smelly nasty trees.

The only thing they are good for is turkey roost and pallets. We have two companies in the local area that make cotton wood pallets.

I have two huge cottonwoods by the gate to my house. One of them has been hit by lightning so many times that I'm not sure that its bark is still attached to the trunk below its lowest branches. It definitely doesn't go all the way around the trunk, with a gap of a good 12" down the south side. It's big enough around that I can't get my arms halfway around it, and I wear a 37" sleeve.

It was comical when I had a garden down there; after a rain, you could almost hear the slurping as it sucked up all the water from the ground. It didn't take very long before you could see a dry semicircle in the dirt near its roots.

I agree they go for the ratings, but the rating I would like to see in my title is the guy on channel 5 in OKC. His title is “most accurate”.
That’s who we go to when it starts getting rough.
Typically I just monitor the mesonet live radar and watch recorded shows when the stations preempt programming.

+1 Damon Lane is about the only weatherman that I can halfway tolerate.

Well, it was worse than I expected. The lid on my large package container was blown off, doormat blown away, and chock blocks for my utility trailer blown away.
Slept through it.
