as we were driving to school this morning, we noticed that there was no power at liberty elementary and there were adults standing in the parking lot telling people there was no school today. (lucky them!) just a few feet down the road we saw power lines down, poles leaning and one pole was even snapped in half! it was wild! a huge section of a neighborhood fence was down and there was a toppled shed. tree limbs littered the road. it looked like a tornado had hit there!
i should have taken pictures of the damage this morning on my way to school, but i didn't want to be in the way of the power company trucks. so i managed to take a few this afternoon.
in case you can't tell, the power poles are leaning!
we turned on the 5 0'clock news to see how much snow we are going to get tonight (hardly any) and the weatherman said to stay tuned for more of our forecast AND a report about a tornado in broken arrow last night!!! what??!! if the national weather service CONFIRMED a tornado, then WHY didn't the sirens go off last night??? they even said that the damage stretched for 4 miles! HELLO!!!!!! again, WHY didn't the sirens blow?
all of this damage i mentioned is less than a mile from my house!! there are lots of neighborhoods in this area! we didn't have any notification! that kind of ticks me off!

I heard about that yesterday too! I wondered if it was near your house. All we had was rain. Glad you did not get any damage, but it sounds like it was a crazy night. Lisa H. :o)
