[QUOTE="SoonerATC, post: 1770389, member: 9576"] I was out fishing at Lake T-bird. When I started to see cloud-to-ground lightning, I packed up and headed back toward Norman. I was about halfway there when the NWS came over the radio and announced the tornado warning. From the view on Alameda coming in from the lake, I had a good view of the horizon but didn't see the tornado, but I did see the lowering and rainshaft where it was supposed to be. I gunned it to get home, but got slowed down by traffic once I got into town. When I turned off Robinson into my neighborhood, I could literally see the rainshaft at the end of the street moving toward me. I was 3 blocks from my house and for a split second, wasn't sure if I could even get home. I basically said to hell with it and drove into the wall of rain, up my driveway....and my garage door started acting up. It would open halfway, then close, then open halfway and close. 3 times before it finally opened. I was thinking, is this really happening? I drove into my garage (far too fast, might I add), jumped out and ran straight for the closet to turn on the emergency radio. Fortunately, the tornado had lifted by the time it got to my portion of the city, or else I'd be homeless right now. I literally heard Gary England name the intersection that is a block from my house as he was giving his updates. Most concerned I've ever been from a storm. [/QUOTE]
