And I wonder how two barge loads of fertilizer is going to affect the river life downstream from Tulsa?

Steve
With the volume of water, I would think very little, maybe some eddies could be affected, were the fish will be!

Two tornadoes danced through the Oklahoma City metro area just now. Lots of debris and rescue efforts going on. Too early to know for sure, but I suspect substantial damage. We were ready to gather up the dog/cat and head for the storm shelter, but the twister that was bearing down on our area lifted several miles out. Raining hard now and will likely continue for at least the next hour.

I am absolutely sick and tired of this crap.

We’ve been watching on the news. It’s almost unbelievable. This minute you own a house, ten minutes later, you don’t. I can’t imagine. Plus all the flooding. A lot of people are being affected.

Nature is very strong and unpredictable, three Saturdays ago a four minute storm made for a week of clean up and that doesn't count burning the big brush pile!

Tornado last night in El Reno OK, about 25 or so miles due west of Oklahoma City. Lots of damage, two confirmed dead so far with more injured. Fortunately it did not stay on the ground too long. Got a motel, grazed a trailer park, and some car dealerships. My wife has some relatives there, but they do not live near the area where the tornado hit. We own some land that we go riding on, about 5 miles north of the area.

Smitty, I don’t remember it ever being like this the last few years. The water and tornadoes.
Oh we know what Mother Nature can do up here. We can have huge storms. Besides a few trees and shingles, we don’t loose houses in a instant. I just can’t imagine.
Stay safe.

SILVER_ALERT, so glad you weren't affected. There were two other tornadoes that flirted with OKC, the first moved near Bridgecreek and headed for Moore/Norman. We live far SE OKC and that one appeared that it would track straight towards us. We were making preparations to move into the storm shelter with the dog and cat. By the grace of God it dissipated long before it became a real threat. The other hopscotched across northern OKC, doing some damage along the way, but nothing like what hit El Reno.

Our prayers today will be for the good people of El Reno. This is the second substantial tornado disaster they've experienced in 6 years.

What is it with trailer parks. It’s like they are attracted to them. God help them.

Sadly, mobile homes/RV's provide about as much protection from such events as a tent. Actually, they're much more dangerous than being in a tent, as they generate tons (literally) of flying, high velocity debris. The two fatalities in El Reno were both from the mobile home park that was adjacent to the motel that was essentially destroyed.

Holy crap Steve. When does tornado season end.
And it’s going to be the middle of summer before the water goes down. And with the heat, damn mild would set in fast.
Praying for you Steve.

Just showed the lineup trying to get to the top of Everest. One guy died because he ran out of o2 and they all walked by him. Crazy.
