Severe storms spawned a dozen reported tornadoes in Oklahoma and Arkansas on Thursday, according to Reuters .

The storms sent residents scrambling for cover 10 days after a powerful twister killed 24 people in Oklahoma.

The National Weather Service confirmed at least one tornado touched down in the Tulsa area, the Associated Press reported.

The tornado on Thursday night touched down in the Tulsa suburb of Broken Arrow. It's not clear how much damage the storm caused as it moved through.

Earlier in the day, tornadoes touched down in Oklahoma and Arkansas, injuring at least nine people.

In Cushing, Okla., a critical hub for the U.S. oil markets northeast of Oklahoma City, a heavy storm passed through without damaging tanks that store more than 50 million barrels of oil, said Bob Noltensmeyer, Cushing's emergency management director. Stormwatchers told CNN that they observed a small tornado touching down briefly in Cushing and the nearby city of Perkins.

A second tornado with the same storm was reported near the rural town of Ripley, but didn't seem to cause significant damage, the Associated Press reported.

And about 3,500 people were without power in Texas' Dallas County after the area was hit by storms that were accompanied by 70 mph winds, UPI reported.
The storms that hit North Texas Wednesday evening brought down power lines and trees, and blew away sections of a new Hurricane Harbor water ride in Arlington, the Dallas Morning News reported.

Quarter-sized hail was also reported in Dallas and Denton counties.

Damn....have a couple of friends down there.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The National Weather Service confirms at least one tornado has touched down in a Tulsa suburb.

Meteorologist Pete Snyder says the tornado touched down in Broken Arrow about 8:40 p.m. Thursday and caused "considerable" damage.

Snyder said he had not heard of any injuries or fatalities.

A woman who answered the phone at the Broken Arrow Police Department also confirmed a tornado and said the department had "no response at this time."
Earlier in the day, tornadoes touched down in Oklahoma and Arkansas, injuring at least nine people.

Too soon?

Klingons

Any one caught near a tornado be sure to take off your belt and tie yourself to something so you don't get whisked away by the twister.

More disaster porn for everyone!

Mother Nature does NOT seem to care for Oklahoma.

I was in Purcell earlier today and took pics that look exactly like that. Ended up turning around illegally on the interstate and backtracking 3 miles because I thought that thing was gonna touch down next to the highway. Then 30 minutes later drove through the area in Moore where the big one touched down last week. Scary stuff.

That's Broken Bow, not Broken Arrow.

My wife's nephew lives in same1/4 mile as damage reported. Waiting to hear if he has damage.

Thankfully no reports of injuries &I I know he & his wife put a storm shelter right out their back door.

Fingers crossed praying.

That's ****ing dumb dude.... It doesn't even have the truck attached.... It's useless without the extra weight of the truck....

That frickin thing touched down about 3 miles east of my house. I was watching the news and it showed the thing right on top of us. I went outside and nearly shit myself. I had no idea. It was dead silent with no rain or anything. THe sirens didn't go off until after the thing touched down. From what I heard, the tornado path didn't go through any cities or towns.

Is Gospel Bill's Camp Dry Gulch still in tact?

Sorry dude....no.

If I had any property in OK, it would be up for sale and I'd be moving elsewhere.
(Not to Florida)

the tree huggers will have you believe that not recycling plastic bags is bad for mother nature.

bitch seems fine to me.

Mother nature can deal with a little polyethylene. Enjoy bitch!

I’ve got Twister in the man cave and this scene cracks me up every time.
Back in ’94, IIRC, a tornado crossed 169 highway and made a direct hit on Nowata, OK high school (school was out, no one was hurt).
A couple of weeks later I drove to Tulsa to visit big sis and when I got to the part of 169 the tornado crossed there was about a ¼ mile section that had the top inch or so of pavement skinned off. When I say skinned that’s probably not accurate, it was more likely gravel blasted off.
So yea, Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton are going to ride one of those things out in a wood shed by strapping themselves to well pipes. It could happen.

Yeah right. Next you'll tell me that the bus jump in Speed was unrealistic.

It was an off ramp so the road was declining..... It's soooo possible.

It could happen. :drool:

Yeah right. Next you'll tell me that Keanu Reeves will become a movie star.

You in neok? Im in pryor ok.

I'm at 101st and Mingo area.

been there many times



lived in Tulsa for awhile

Yeah it's a nice neighborhood. I'm staying at my grandparents until June 13th when my apartment is ready.

Just watch out for flying cows and you should be fine. Everybody knows tie yourself up with a belt is the best way to keep from being sucked up by a tornado vortex.

loved tulsa, clean and open ... good people.


went down there to open a new branch, had a great time.

I gotta go Julia, we got cows. /Melissa
