Phone service: You know that is always a problem. I never appreciate Direct Connect with Nextel until we have a tornado and I can't reach anyone to warn them.

My mom lives a few blocks from me and the news was saying we were having a tornado in Bethany/Yukon heading right towards Edmond... the tornado sirens were going off and I was trying to call her.

I finally got through to her and said, 'mom, this is the time you should be in the shelter' and she said ' I should?' I'm yelling as I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off, 'yes, Mom, this one is coming right at our house' and it was.

The problem is with all of the news coverage, it's like crying wolf.
