I'm sure everyone has heard or will hear but a huge, deadly Tornado hit Northeast Oklahoma and Southwest Missouri late Saturday evening killing many and leaving many homeless. The storm was about 2 mile north of me but the loss is closer! The town of Picher which is 7 miles North of where I live was 2/3 destroyed along with many other small towns and homes along the way! So please, take a lil time and pray for all those involved as this hit very close to home! Very tragic day for thousands of people who lost homes or had homes damaged severly! Many injured, several dead already and more to come as daybreak will start revealing more! Thank you in advance for the thoughts and prayers given to those who need it!

I know how it feels, my area has been hit a few times already this year, so I know how it is. My prayers go out the people of that area.

Yep, what is the f'n deal with tornadoes this year? I don't know how many we get on average but I imagine we have easily tripled that by now. This shit is crazy. We had one touch down a few miles from here about a week ago.

Came within 3 miles of the shop. I dont care if it hits the house just not my toy box!
