Gorgeous sunset from Mt Tabor park. Lots of big, downed trees on the north and east side of the park from our ARCTIC WINDS three weeks ago. But honestly the damage wasn’t quite as bad as I feared. I guess the historic shelter took a pretty good hit but that part of the park was cordoned off.

What a night 4.85 inches of rain has fallen with this round and steady rain is still falling. Flash flood warnings are in effect and for the first time in almost 3 years all of our farm ponds are full. ATM my 3 day storm total is at 7.65 inches.

2.41" at my place and still coming down although it's probably winding down. No severe weather in town, but there was a strong tornado not too far to the SSW of Tulsa.

Models are showing another chance this afternoon with some decent instability and enough shear to potentially pop a supercell.
