Live Tornadoes KFOR May 9, 2016 (Wynnewood, Katie, Sulphur, Stillwater Tornados)

[@Clatoog]

Man I didn’t realize how spoiled I was with the 4 warn storm team until I moved to Tulsa. I woke up to loud winds a few nights ago. I went on the balcony of our apartment to bring our plants in and decided I should turn the news on to find out what was going on. After about 20 minutes of watching the weather man I realized there was a tornado about a mile away. No sirens, no storm trackers with eyes-on, no storm tracker on the Doppler. Just a weather man telling me there’s a tornado in Tulsa. There weren’t even streets on their map. I could have pulled up Doppler on a website and got the same information. Thank you so much to Mike and his team. They have saved countless lives.

[@Sssssssslf]

Wow I'm super surprised to hear that ..Tulsa of all the places in the entire world would be the one place I'd have thought had it all when it comes to tornado alerts and warning systems

[@lpsgarrett30]

Wow. What a shitastic system over there. Idc if I'll get hate, y'all(those in charge of the area) are over here KILLING your citizens. You SHOULD have working sirens and working radar and news for any potential tornadic activity. ESPECIALLY If it's in a tornado prone area like Tulsa

[@terrencemcdaniel6605]

I live in Tulsa and have lived here my whole life and I can tell you they are very competent in getting advance warning to folks on incoming storms through sirens, phone alerts, and TV/Radio. We rarely have a death due to tornadoes up here.

[@DarkMuu666]

@@lpsgarrett30 We do have working sirens. The only time in recent memory that there was an issue with sirens was the night an EF2 spawned at 41st and Yale. The meterologists and storm trackers are always at it, too.

[@marcusjohnson7441]

It wasn't like that when I lived in Tulsa. The map could get it down to an address. It would take over anything that was on TV. Basically the same as the OKC area. I will say, the ones down in OKC have it like no other in the world.

[@KyraLovesCats384]

Look up April 27, 2011 Tornado Outbreak Jason Simpson and James Spann covered a major Tornado Outbreak for 8 hours in the morning and another 8 hour outbreak in the afternoon to late evening. Biggest outbreak since 1974. I believe it was Cordova Alabama that was hit with 2 EF 5s. One in the morning then in the afternoon. Even if you aren't a weather enthusiast and just like watching some coverages check it out.

JIMJAMSC yea sometimes my weathermen get burnt out ten minutes in. They are all animated and talking fast with their voice trembling then ten minutes later its like their bunt out and like uhhhhhh its crossing 6th street and some hail........... then pause for ten seconds before going on about something else. It has to be hard to just keep going though sometimes.

Instead of buying insurance they built a 750,000$ house that is made like a bunker.

Tulsa has major news stations and OKC has 3. Down here in the southern part we have a station that is small with not as good systems and it’s not even on cable. Antenna type stations. Pretty crappy when we have tornadoes on the ground. But you know who is here first to cover the damage? Those 3 major stations. KOCO 5, News 9, KFOR 4. 🙄 Pisses us off truthfully.

Man can’t wait till spring I live in Dallas Texas can’t imagine a ef5 thru downtown Dallas

That newscaster fella is all wet, we in s.e. Oklahoma get heaps of tornado's. I knew of the fella killed in Johnston Co., and I was told he was in his pickup pretty close to his house, and just didn't leave the area, he didn't have a cellar. Anyway, seems like Durant, on to Blue, Bokchito, up to Antlers gets hit the hardest, several deaths over the last 5 years that I know of, one of the women killed over by Blue worked at the bank in Calara. We get a fair share of tornado's no doubt.

I forgot to add, they are right on one thing, we do not have the storm spotters coming here, too many hills and thick timber. Only spotters are usually amateur storm spotters, and find them on 2 meter radio or scanner only, no working for tv stations. And this new digital tv is crap, every time it rains, wind gets up, forget watching tv for weather, ain't happening. Before on analog, the picture might a bit fuzzy, but could still watch for bad weather. And internet, forget that too, it goes off every time it rains or wind gets up, so I have to depend on 2 meter radio and the scanner.

@@dalesmyth7398 damn that sounds scary. Especially to those who aint aware about anything coming up

[@dalesmyth7398]

@@maddymahool3828 Yep, it's spooky for sure. We are lucky that the NWS and other weather people have gotten really good at predicting storms nearly a week out. So, taking heed, and being ready for it is the ticket. I never sleep knowing a storm is coming, and so far, what I do works. I have others to get in a cellar in time, so I really prepare for these events.
