I have friends in Sutton - the tornado didn't touch the ground, but lots of trees down, damage to houses and cars. Scary stuff, be careful.

And in Grand Island on the night of June 3rd 1980. These and others since have impressed the reality of what a tornado can do. ..still living on the plains and vigilant during tornado warnings. ..

edit. ..just got an alert on my phone that we are in a tornado warning 25 miles north of Wichita.

Norman OK earlier issued watches. (Fun fact, the NWS at Norman is actually tornado central. When they speak, people pay attention)
