[QUOTE="Pulp, post: 2208006, member: 14195"] I was in NW OKC, Morgan and Memorial at my daughter's house. The first alert warning showed the tornado to be heading straight toward us. We had like a 45 minute warning. My granddaughter had a dance recital at Rose State, so we decided to go on down, based on what the warning said. Once we were on Hefner they said the tornado was moving straight east on 40, (still way out by El Reno) so we continued to 40 and headed east. Since Rose State is on 40, now this wasn't a good place to be going. So we turned south on 35. Then they said it was moving SE and would cross 35 around Moore or Norman. We flipflopped and started back toward Rose State. Guess what? Back to straight east on 40. At that point we decided to go back to 35 and go north. Ended up at Edmond and worked our way back to daughter's house. Normally, I'm fairly decent at reading clouds. But Friday PM there was nothing to read. The whole sky was green and featureless. Without KOMA and whatever my son-in-law was watching on his iPhone, we wouldn't have had a clue which way to go. I reckon my whole point in this diatribe is; with enough advance warning leaving the area is not a bad idea. Personally, I'm thankful for the information we got from TV, radio and internet. [/QUOTE]
