Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

    Oklahoma is getting absolutely plastered. There are also tornado warnings up for parts of Kansas, Iowa, and North Carolina-and some nasty storms in the DFW area.

    I’d add an Eric Cantor crack but this isn’t the time. You folks be safe down there and we’ll be around to help, afterward if you need it.

    I guess that tornadoes are working their way through the entire middle third or so of Oklahoma, from Texas to Arkansas.

    Tulsa, Muskogee, and McAllester in Oklahoma, and Ft. Smith in Arkansas are in the line of fire.

    I also note that Norman has had tornadoes spotted on all sides.

    Better hide, Sooner.

    As I posted earlier, the OK City radar is here. The entire South Plains Sector is here.

    Just FYI, the loop works fine on a Windows machine, but not on my iPad.

    Well, that was fun.
    The big one just missed us by about half a mile. Dissapated just as it got southeast of my house. dropped some insulation that it took from somewhere in my lawn. No damage in my neighborhood. Same supercell started up again just east of south OKC/Moore area, but missed my sister’s place and my dad’s place.
    El Reno (west of OKC) hammered bad. Okarche-Piedmont area hit hard. A good friend and her family lost home.
    Just south of Norman, towns of Noble and Lexington hit. Unknown number of people killed. Confirmed reports of 3 dead. Storms continuing to the east, paralling I-40 towards Muskogee and McAlester and I-44 towards Tulsa and Joplin, MO.

    @soonergrunt: Well, glad to hear you and yours came through it OK. Sorry to hear about so many other unlucky duckies. Again.

    Looks like it’s about 2 hours away from Joplin, but Tulsa is in the path first.

    @15 ah, ok that’s why. And, of course, glad that you’re ok. Please stay safe, and your family too.

    Glad to hear you’re OK, Sooner. Pardon me while I worry about my friends in McAlester, will you, though? *frets*

    @All–thanks for the good thoughts, the prayers, the voodoo, and whatever else.
    @Lysana–of course. I’m worried about friends there too.

    Glad to hear you and yours came out OK.

    Tornado still on the ground passed just south and now east of us here in Jenks, near Tulsa. Been an anxiety filled day, given how difficult it is to know just where and when things are going to jump off when the SPC forecasts a full scale outbreak. The only other high risk day resulted in Tuscaloosa, so there was plenty of reason to be adrenalized.

    Since neither Jenks nor the city of Tulsa have any designated public shelters any longer, we were set to flee to my wife’s workplace, which, being an old police station, still has the jail cells in the center of the building.

    Pics and video from the hardest hit areas you named are heartbreaking. It’s been an insane storm season this year.

    @Fallsroad: Good to see that you all are OK, too.
    It’s been crazy. Is there any word on the aquarium up ya’ll’s way? (for the rest of you, the Oklahoma aquarium in Jenks was severely damaged by a storm a few months back.)

    @soonergrunt:

    Think the aquarium recovered from the damage. It was a broken water pipe that caved in a ceiling, back in February or March, as I recall.

    Daylight tomorrow is going to reveal some really terrible destruction all across the state. I used to live in Norman, and I know there were a couple of big tornadoes down that way as well.

    And now the whole show shifts a bit to the east, and Tulsa will see a re-run for the fourth day in a row, in terms of watches and warnings. The idea that Joplin might be under the gun again tomorrow makes me queasy.
