250 mph winds reported at an airport near Bartlesville.. that’s a strong F4 if it holds up to be true

You see the radar signature on that one?

Absolute monster.

Praying for the people there, that’s the kind of storm that leaves nothing but a concrete slab if it comes your way.

the damage is the worst on:

1. flat land

2. land heading up a mountain on the side where the storm came/comes from



So basically any storm in the south United States is heading east, or more accurately, ENE

So if your property is on the west side of a mountain or an area within a mountain/hill range that is elevating as the wind moves east to ENE, you are more at risk


if you're on the east side a mountain or hill, you are somewhat protected





we've all seen entire western sides of wooded mountains combed over like God had a brush and hair gel
