We've been getting these from some of our insurance carriers.
this one is dated 5/24/11 1:50 pm

"*****Insurance has been monitoring a weather pattern that has the potential to bring severe weather, including a significant tornado outbreak, to central Oklahoma and north central Texas. Be assured, we are prepared to help you provide prompt, professional, and efficient claims service to our policyholders."



My comment - if folks are thinking FEMA is going to continue to bail them out of these disasters - they have a rude awakening.. FEMA has been hit hard financially, as well as the Salvation Army and Red Cross. I make donations to both Salvation Army and Red Cross.. I urge those with the means to do so themselves. Looks likes these natural disasters are going to continue......... and they get worse each time. Also, get some insurance :) it might be cheaper than you think..unless you live down by the coast - then the coverage gets harder to find and more expensive.

Looks like it could be Tulsa's day later on this evening.

I take it your in the insurance business 44. Bad year for insurance ... good year if you have a catastrophy company that supplies independent adjusters.

I hear ya.. don't wanna jinx it but we've faired pretty well down here this year.. Waiting on Hurricane Season - which starts June 1st - we've lucked out 2 years in a row.. hoping for 3.............. with my luck, a named storm will hit the Texas coast between June 19th and June 28th - when I'll be sipping margaritas on the beach in Florida.. Last time we went to this place, was July 2003, when Hurricane Claudette hit down here. I came back to a mess :( I have some good friends who's daughter and son in law are moving to OKC in a few weeks. This tornado mess is very unsettling I am sure :eek:

I'm not wishing anything bad, but a nice tropical storm or depression coming up from the Texas coast in August could be a life saver for Texas. :thinking:

Texas should be safe in June.....now Florida where you will be...:thinking:

No tornado here, but crazy winds and another grassfire burning out of control between Midland and Odessa. The road that runs by the airport is closed!

i have been watching Storm Chasers on the WEather Channel online- serious stuff going on in OKC right now..

Thats one thing Oklahoma does right. They have storm reporting and forecasting down to an art. I have seen TV stations report live for hours with no commercial breaks.

Is DDBooger in Stillwater?

Is DDBooger in Stillwater? Thanks for the concern, bud. I left at 2:30am anticipating a wild day today. And I was right. I have friends who let out their maymester courses and administrative assistants have brought their families to the building to take shelter underground. OKC had a half mile Tornado touch down. Heading towards Stillwater and then Tulsa.

Video of the tornado that landed in OKC about a half hour ago.

My brother owns an insurance adjusting company for storms and disasters in Tulsa. I have 2 other brothers that work for him, chasing storms. They all seem to be doing pretty good this year.
