Such a weird coincidence that we both have relatives in those little towns. Most of my family there are Cherry.

Glad to hear you're okay. I think that's the same system that dropped a tornado outside of Paris, TX where I have relatives. Tornadoes are no joke.

I know this little area as well. We used to stop in Paris all the time when I was a kid on our road trips from OKC to Texas. Mainly because back in the late-80s they had the only Popeye's in the area. None were in Oklahoma at the time.

Glad to hear you made it out okay with minimal damage, @gp_cowpolk. Severe weather in Oklahoma is no joke.

My dad and I were just comparing homeowners insurance rates a couple of weeks ago and I'm shocked at how much he pays compared to me. Mainly because of the severe weather threat in OKC compared to Georgia.

It's kinda cool that we all have kinda grown up together. I mean, I was only 30 when I joined this board. I was far from grown. I thought I was, but I wasn't even close to grown.

Forget the building damage, when you see all the limbs stripped off the pine trees like that, that's no joke.

Not sure of the exact stats, but aren't only like 5% of tornadoes f3 or higher? Something like that. The vast majority are pretty weak.
