Barnsdall drone footage

We lost electricity when the tornado hit barnsdall and still don’t have any as of right now total devastation for a small town I finally got hold of one of my friends wife she was still in the cellar and kept asking is it gone? Is it over? She finally came out and just kept saying it’s bad really really bad bad bad it missed her house by about 1/8 of a mile they have hwy 11 blocked off still as they are doing a second wave of search and rescue they run all the news reporters out of town till they are done not to contaminate the area and confuse the dogs they are using to locate anybody

Is it me or did they just pull out a gun case out of the wreckage in the beginning of the video?

Barnsdall drone footage

Watching that footage I just kept thinking, where were all the people? Only one casualty so far with all of that destruction. It's almost like everyone in the town abandoned the town before the tornado came through. That's the only way my mind tells me that there weren't more casualties.

In the press conference this morning, the mayor said he attributed it to people heeding the warnings on the radio, TV, and cellphones and getting to safe spots, be they in storm shelters or interior rooms. IIRC, they did evacuate the nursing home before the storm hit.

Electric just came back on

The Barnsdall tornado is now thought to be a low-end F4.

Spent some time in the storm shelter last night. Had a tornado go right by me. Anyone else not that there were going to be tornados last night?

I didn’t know about storms until 7-8 pm. I ended up just north of big hail.
