Another round of strong tornadoes is expected again today over western OK, adding to an already record-breaking weekend for severe weather. We spent the night in Alva, OK, and our now heading towards Arnet, OK to await storm initiation.
Given the insane amount of traffic we've had on the website, we're having some issues that will be resolved tomorrow. Our youtube video has had over 200,000 views, and our hosting company cannot handle the mass traffic. Jason is working VERY hard to keep the website working properly, but we cannot resolve the problem completely until tomorrow.
As I'm typing this, we're getting pounded by heavy rain and storms north of an outflow boundary..We expect storms to become surface based with an increasing potential for tornadoes as time goes on. Stay tuned for more updates!

Caleb, the chances of another EF5 anytime soon are next to nothing. Not saying it won't happen, but they make up less that 1% of all tornadoes, and since today isn't a huge tornado day, chances are small that it will.
And it's really not necessary to post an entire severe thunderstorm warning
Thanks conner sorry for the SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS.
I think I found your cell phone in NY Reed.
REED,
GREAT PICTURES. I SENT SOME OF THESE TO HAROLD AT RENO. (MY GRANDSON)
