Today was a most unusual day in Oklahoma City. We had a series of tornadoes come through Oklahoma City and Edmond. The first, and most deadly, was on the ground for over ten minutes and caused some significant damage as it crossed our town from southwest to northeast. Many homes and businesses were destroyed; power lines were knocked down; cars were crushed; trees were uprooted. Our home was about two miles north of the big tornado. All we got was a yard full of quarter size hail. Jim's poor pickup was in the driveway, but it really doesn't matter. It has been hailed on so many times before as Jim used to do some storm spotting in the Oklahoma Panhandle and that was the vehicle he used.
