First storm (Supercell A): on a dead track towards Stillwater if it stays on track in the next 45 minutes or so.

Yikes. First tornado warning of the day, right on top of OKC.

I'm sitting under a docile thunderstorm here in Garland right now. Thunder, heavy rain...just enough to perk up the grass. Obviously things will begin to ramp up quickly by sunset.

TexasSnowman, has Denison fixed their sirens yet?

Yes.

Hopefully they will not be needed tonight.

Two tornado strikes in as many months would be a bit much, don't you think? :(

From Edmond: a house lost most of its wood and shingles on the outside. Sounds like high EF1/low EF2.

Tornado was on the ground for about 10 minutes in Edmond. Looks to be about an EF2 based on photos.

Wow - that whole line is a string a hook echoes.
