It's All My Fault! Tornadoes in Tulsa!

One week after I write about how slow the severe weather season has started, Tornadoes are touching down in Tulsa!

An confirmed EF-2 Tornado occurred in western Tulsa near Sand Springs. The tornado is estimated to have winds 125-135 mph. The tornado cost the life of one person and injured 30 others. Thankfully, an excellent warning lead time by the National Weather Service Office in Tulsa allowed many to take cover in time. Here's a preliminary look the track of the tornado:

The track will continue to be redefined as the National Weather Service office in Tulsa looks at all of the damage reports and radar data. Another tornado occurred just south of Tulsa International airport.

There was also scattered reports of straight line wind damage across most of the Tulsa Metro. Don't forget straight line winds of a large magnitude can do just as much damage as an EF-0 tornado.

Last Wednesday is a firm reminder that although the storm season may start slow or become quiet, it only takes one tornado to cause destructive damage and take the life of a person. You should always be prepared no matter how low the tornado threat may be.
