Crazy stuff.

I will stick with tons of snow, rain, strong winds, and all that good stuff instead

ahhh...sounds like springtime in KY

Got to love OKC this time of year.

Was there actually one that touched down? The only confirmation I got was radar indications from the news. I haven't seen anything that indicated a true tornado touching down.

When are you leaving OKC?

Do this....

Those things are scary! I have been near a few too many now for my liking.

Hey RABIRZA69,

Do you know Kate or Phil, they are doing class at the FAA for ATC right now.

I'm actually in OKC for spring break from University of North Dakota, I live up in E-town.

Boy I love Oklahoma, yesterday was tornados and today, SNOW!

RABIRZA69,

When I was in Florida, about five years ago, I was in a similar situation as you were in. There was a tornado warning issued for our area (Orlando) and I ran outside of the hotel to look for a tornado. This was during a heavy downpour.

Fortunately, there was no tornado. But, it sure did get my adrenaline going!

That is actually the 3rd time in 3 years that has happened. Last year we had tornadoes just west of FAA and the next day we got so much ice the schools closed for 5 days. I can honestly say I have had my fair share of tornadoes. I lived 3/4 of a mile away from the most powerful tornado recorded. Boy that was a good ole OK day, then all hell broke loose.

FlySooner9 · March 4th, 2008, 16:16

nothing actually touched down in the OKC area however there was a very low wall cloud with fairly intense rotation. Downtown OKC dodged a bullet that night. I live in Norman and was watching it all.

Stomp16 · March 4th, 2008, 22:56

The weather here is crazy. This is my 6th Spring here and I LOVE IT!!! The weather makes my nipples hard.......and not because it's cold.

I do miss the storms from back home in western Nebraska though. There is nothing like seeing a super cell 100 miles away and then 3-4hours later it hits ya. Makes it easier to plan your day when you can see them coming.

Just thought you should know... uo is going down tomorrow night

oktex88 · March 5th, 2008, 14:22

They just issued this a couple of hours ago for Oklahoma City:

... Winter Storm Warning In Effect From 6 AM Thursday To 6 AM CST Friday...

A Mixture Of Rain... Sleet... And Snow Will Begin To Develop Over The Warning Area Early Thursday Before Becoming Heavier And Changing Completely To Snow By Afternoon Or Evening. The Snow May Become Heavy At Times... With Total Snow Accumulations Ranging From As Little As 3 To 4 Inches... To As Much As 7 To 10 Inches Locally.

These Amounts Of Snow Have The Ability To Make Travel Extremely Difficult Or Perhaps Impossible. Power Outages May Also Result Due To The Heavy Weight Of The Snow.

FlySooner9 · March 5th, 2008, 15:38

that winter storm warning came out of the blue pretty much. Sure hope we get some snow cause i love snow and we've gotten the shaft so far this winter. As long as it comes tomorrow and not tonight since im flying down to KDAL and back tonight.

FlySooner9 · March 5th, 2008, 15:38

oktex88 · March 7th, 2008, 13:03

Nothing new. The weather people are 1-5 this year so far at predicting snow storms.

I'll eat my crow, we sucked it up and you guys handed it to us on our own court... cowboy basketball is not what it once was.

And as far as forcasting in OK, those guys dont seem to know whats going to happen outside the tornado season, if its not coming from a cumulus cloud they're at a loss.
