Thanks for the updates, CrazyC and everyone. It helps since there are multiple cells, right now, if people name the state and area of what cell they are reporting on.

[RL3AO]

Very fortunate this doesn't have a monster wedge on it.

[Texas Snowman]

54 tornadoes so far. Hardly a bust.

I think it is because they have focused on rural areas, which is a GOOD thing.

No, I didn't mean an overall bust.

Just that the high risk area in Oklahoma has been somewhat of a bust so far. Persistent in NW Oklahoma for sure. And of course, now we've got the Cherokee storm. But nothing even remotely threatening the central part of the state. So far.

[brunota2003]

Multivortex tornado on the ground north of Cherokee, OK.
