Its the red and orange cell on the very bottom of the tornado watch area that I have pictures of below and that spawned a tornado about 20 miles west of here last night. Pink dot is ranch location.

Sundowner Sports Arena Damage

This was a Rodeo arena that was damaged last Monday near Coleman Ok, about 30 miles south of the ranch. We had never seen actual tornado damage and it was amazing and scary to see what kind of damage can be done to steel I beams. The arena itself was a total loss.

Late Evening Sky before Storm that left 4.5 inches of rain

I am up here by myself this week and as I was watching the weather channel last night I was preparing the storm cellar for occupancy. I got my weather radio, water, a chair, flashlight, candles and phone. Came very close to getting myself and the dogs in, but ended up with just some strong winds, hail and lots of heavy rain. Three major storms throughout the night, so very little sleep, what with constantly hearing the weather radio warnings and monitoring the radar.
