Which big tornado? I have been really lucky here in Moore. There have been 3 tornados that have taken almost the exact same path, one being the big May 3rd 1999 tornado (F5-6), and one the May 9th 2004 (F4) that have been within 1 mile of my homes (I have had 2 since '99). We are pretty used to the big ones down here. I can't believe the Tornado in south Oklahoma took 8 lives. I hate hearing these things. Even though tornado's are pretty common for us Okie's, they are still scary.
Bonebreak,
The funny thing about all of those tornados you mentioned is that all of them started spooling up down here in Lawton and headed northeast and were monsters by the time they got up to The City. Yesterday's storm was very similar to those in that it did pretty much the same thing
