The Great Tornado Tally: Separating Fact from Fiction (Mostly Fiction, We Hope)
According to the fine folks at the National Weather Service (who, let's be honest, are basically the Oklahoma storm whisperers), there weren't any confirmed tornadoes reported in our great state last night.Phew! That's a relief, because dodging flying furniture is a drag. However, that doesn't mean Mother Nature wasn't throwing a bit of a tantrum. Apparently, there were some strong winds and maybe even some rogue tumbleweeds causing a ruckus. But hey, at least it wasn't a full-on twister ballet!
Important Note: While there weren't any confirmed tornadoes last night, it's always a good idea to stay weather aware, especially during peak tornado season (which, let's face it, feels like most of the year in Oklahoma).

- Your car is parked inexplicably on top of your roof. (File an insurance claim, then get some sleep, buddy.)

How to Be Prepared for the Next Twister Tango (Because Oklahoma) ️
While last night might have been a dud (weather-wise, at least), it's always a good idea to be prepared for whatever Oklahoma weather throws your way. Here are some quick tips:

- Be a techie: Download a weather app that provides real-time alerts. Trust us, your phone will be a lot more helpful than that rusty old weather vane on your barn.
- Stock up on supplies: Water, non-perishable food, a battery-powered radio, and maybe a deck of cards to keep you entertained while you wait for the storm to pass (unless you wake up wearing your neighbor's underwear, then maybe focus on explaining that).
