I betcha that Tulsa is going to be making the news tonight. These storms will be tracking up I-44 straight for my location. I'm torn between whether I want the storms to weaken or continue onward.

Best of luck to those in Tulsa, you're going to need it.

I live about 400 miles to the northeast, so I still have several hours before the worst hits.

Nevertheless, the sky is darkening and heavy rain is in the vicinity.
