Rose State College will close at 3 PM today.

Large numbers of kids in the OKCPS did not show up today.
Hundreds or maybe thousands have already been checked out of school. The remaining kids are not getting very much done.
It was waste of a day to even have school in OKCPS.

My son doesnt have to do his afterschool classwork detention today due to storms...he's stoked. "Bring on the naders!!" And that's Piedmont schools, the canceled afternoon activities etc.

You may want to re-read his post. You just called his son of indeterminate age a sad human being.

Whoever said it is a sad human being. End of discussion.

A 6 to 12 year old boy isn't quite equipped to understand all the ins and outs of destruction and why it's not desirable. At this point he's in awe of mother nature and not so infatured with humanity.

That sad human being was my tween son chanting because he got out of detention....You are a bit uptight...And thanks to the others for getting the 13 year old sense of humor...he wasnt wishing anything on anyone.......

Signed, pissed off Mom. and storm victim from Piedmont tornado....so if my son can get it, you should to.......what an uptight troll. Now, end of discussion.

[Jesseda]

so with okc still being cloudy does that help us out with the tornado risk?

[Bunty]

Tornado watch just issued for the eastern half of Kansas. Wichita State University is closing early. In northwest Oklahoma a line of storms have started.

It really is amazing the hype that is produced.

So today, people were fleeing downtown at 3PM like a tsunami was on their heels.

Then, my vet called to say they couldn't honor a 5PM appointment because they were shutting down, and just about every school and social event is cancelled tonight.

Is this common now every time there is a threat of severe weather that is still hours and hours out? (this is my first storm season here in 25 years)

[d-usa]

Driving along May & Memorial and the area is almost deserted. Mall parking lot is mostly empty, handful of cars at restaurants, no traffic at all during rush hour.

What's the Severe Storm version of "gotta get bread and milk"?

What's the Severe Storm version of "gotta get bread and milk"?

Seems to be: Leave work 9 hours before the first sprinkle and close everything down like a category 5 hurricane is at your doorstep.

[sooner88]

This has definitely felt extreme, especially with no imminent threat. My coworker had to leave work in the middle of the day because her vet decided to close at 2 pm.
