Yeah! I live in Holland, and it was so bad that it was on the news! I'm sorry for all the losses.

Didn't hear about it in England. The news teams here are probaly more intrested in what Tony Blair had for breakfast. UK News teamS are strange you ask me.

The Elder is still with you. Would you believe another one hit us last night. Came within a few miles this time. Spent about an hour in the bathroom in the center of the house. Everyone might think about any players from Oklahoma and not time them out for a while in case they were hit. More storms comming today. Think of us.
Peace and good health

It must be really different in the depths of East Anglia then... there were pictures and interviews on all the news programmes on all the TV channels everywhere else in the UK.

I suppose people don't bother building their house out of bricks if they know they're likely to get blown over anyway. Amazing pictures of streets with one side untouched and the other just piles of 'matchsticks' !

East Anglia is in a different dimension compared with the rest of the world. On "Look East" the biggest new story was about something really stupid.🙄 I think they are getting desperate for stories.

I live in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma (right next to Tulsa)!
Night before last's tornado hit hard in Jenks (one of the neighboring cities!).
Last night's tornado came within 5 miles of my house and went right through my city!! It was very dangerous because it was not visible because it was wrapped up in sooo much rain!! But, luckily, no damage here!

The storms haven't fired up again here in B.A., but I'm sure they will soon! The sky is very dark and gloomy :'(...I sure hope another tornado doesn't come through because Rooster Day's is tonight (that's B.A.'s annual festival). I really want to go, but it is outside on Main Street 🙁.

The tornados were horrible. I live in Tulsa, and the same tornado almost came through here. The sirens went off at least three times. Hey Zach, my mom and I were praying for you all when the storm started rolling through Broken Arrow.We were house sitting again, so we were right by Broken Arrow. But still, two tornadic storms, pretty much affecting the same areas, two nights in a row! That's insane! I've never cared much for Oklahoma weather, but I guess I'm stuck with it. All in all, as Zach said, tornado season is definately here.🙁

Oklahoma weather is something else, dry and lots of wind but as far as tornados go we are not the only state that gets them. We are in what they call Tornado Alley there are several states concerned and they all get hit.
I am glad for all of you that live in Ok. that you and your families did come through this past week safe and sound.
Peace and good health.

Weren't they in a place in the middle of the U.S.A. called Tornado Alley? I've heard something in geography...

Several states here in the U.S. are in what we call "Tornado Alley," extending from central Texas up through Nebraska.
