Talked to him last night. I asked him about the twister that hit Chickasha. He said the radio was talking about a twister coming up I-44, so what does he do, he goes outside to look for it. He says that he saw a low cloud base (at least that is what he told his friend next to him) just Southwest of the house, but he wasn't worried.
His friend decided to head to the basement, where the wives were yelling for the guys to come down, but he stayed on the back porch taking pictures. He saidthe "low cloud" came over the house,and it was kind of rotating and the winds were swirling kind of funny, so he decided to "go below". He noticed a Highway Patrolman, on the turnpike looking at him, as it went over the house, I can only imagine what the OHP person was thinking. I know what I would have been thinking!!!
He said it was only about 100 ft over his head, over the house, he almost went for a ride in a twister
He said he came out of the basement in time to watch it descend out of the cloud and hit town.
"Sigh"
If someone would have told me about someone doing something like that, but didn't mention names, my Nephew would be the first person come to mind. His Dad would have done the same thing too, had he still been alive.He pulled some things that would make the hair on the back of your neck to stand up if I related them.
My Nephew, gotta love him.
