Central Oklahoma is currently under a tornado emergency as a powerful storm system unleashes a barrage of severe weather.

Confirmed Tornadoes and Current Situation

At least three tornadoes have been confirmed on the ground, with reports of significant damage already emerging from communities in the path of the storms. Emergency services are responding, but access to affected areas is currently hampered by the severe weather and debris.

The NWS is providing continuous updates via their website and social media channels, including live radar imagery. Checking these sources for the latest warnings and alerts is crucial for staying safe.

Cover yourself: Protect yourself from flying debris by covering yourself with a mattress or heavy blanket.
Stay informed: Monitor weather alerts through NOAA Weather Radio, local news channels, or the NWS website.
Avoid windows: Stay away from windows and exterior walls.
After the tornado: Check for injuries and report any damage to local authorities. Avoid damaged areas unless absolutely necessary.
