I'm sorry for bothering you guys. I can't keep coming here every time it gets bad tornado wise! I'll be constantly asking for prayer because we've just entered twister season, and twice already I've come to mylot, afraid of the coming tornados. Everything around me is fine. Limbs from trees are everywhere, and the hail has done some property damage. South of where I live they got grapefruit size hail. And if you think I'm kidding or exaggerating, I'm not. You can find pictures, as they demonstrated on the news by holding a grapefruit on one hand, and then three different grapefruit size balls of hail, one by one, in the other. A couple towns over there were a few mobile homes destroyed. If a tornado comes near a mobile chrome it will destroy it. Thankfully, the families had evacuated to a nearby school shelter. But more than one tornado hit, and we can't be sure how many until all the weather date is in. I heard them talk about a house in a street, but maybe I'll have more info on that tomorrow. As of now, we're okay, and so is the rest of my family in different parts of Oklahoma. Hope other Oklahoma mylotters are too.

I'm so glad to hear it! This is why spring and summer are not my favorite times of year.

It must be a terrible experience to live with the possibility of being hit by a tornado. Keep praying and keep safe.

I was wondering what stay you were in, thanks for saying. I have a friend that lives in OK and there was some concern about here last year as no one heard from her in several days after one went through the area. We get hit with tornadoes too, but not for a few months yet. I'll have to remember to keep your state in my prayers. We did get a little sleet the other day and some here saw snow and others saw hail, but nothing landed on the ground near me. Stay safe.

I'm glad you made it. These days are so nerve wrecking and stressful. I was on the way home when sirens went off. My mom was with me, and we were driving parallel to an ugly wall cloud. It was okay, though. Some of my coworkers got golf ball size hail, I think.

Don't you hate it when the siren goes off and you're not near safe shelter? It's nervewracking.

@AmbiePam Yes! The other cars on the road were swerving, like the drivers were slightly intoxicated. They were just nervous. I'm glad their loud, but I just wanted to get home.

Grapefruit size hail is really big. Was there a lot of damage there to property.

Glad you're okay. You must heave a huge sigh of relief each time a tornado goes through without too much effect on you.
