No tornadoes in my neck of the woods yesterday but some really high winds and driving rains. Nasty weather...

Looks just like Joplin when I arrived at the scene. 0 difference.

We were lucky this time. Substantial damage earlier this season but this time, it skipped us and hit our closest neighbor. Pretty minor damage but houses across the lake were damaged. No one hurt though.

My heart goes out to the people who lost so much.

More storms ahead after deadly tornadoes rake Oklahoma
May 10, 2016 - Strong to severe thunderstorms and tornadoes are possible again Tuesday in the Ohio Valley and southern Plains, a day after two people were killed as the powerful system raked the central U.S.

An elderly man was killed Monday evening when a large tornado barreled through the Wynnewood, Okla., area, KYTV reported. Near Connerville, about 45 miles southeast, another man was killed when a twister roared through Johnston County. Overall, there were more than 20 reports of tornadoes in six states Monday evening, the Storm Prediction Center reported. In addition to Oklahoma, tornadoes were reported in Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas and Arkansas.

Crews from the National Weather Service will survey tornado-damaged areas Tuesday to determine how many twisters formed. Severe storms in Arkansas destroyed property in Avilla, west of Little Rock, and smashed at least one plane at the Salem Airport, 150 miles north of Little Rock, KTHV-TV reported. In Oklahoma, major damage was reported to a Coal County radio station, and to several homes in Murray County, Keli Cain, state emergency management spokeswoman, told the Daily Oklahoman.

Lisa Buckner of Elmore City was on her way home from work when she heard about the tornado, the Daily Oklahoman reported. She let her dogs out of the house, went to her storm shelter, waited and prayed. "It sounded just like a train," Buckner said. The storm lasted 15 to 20 minutes and when she stepped outside, her home was gone, save for a concrete slab, she added. Trey Pierce, 25, was on his way home from work to his parents' house where he lives. "I was just about to come down this road when I saw the sucker coming right for me," he told the Oklahoman, describing the oncoming twister as "a black wall."
