So far, so good.

Well, I've made it okay so far. I went to the bottom apartment where my neighbor let me in. He also had an elderly lady there with him too. She lives in a different building, but since her apartment is above ground she came over to his apartment below ground. At 8:15pm I finally came home. They extended the time for tornadoes to get us, but as of 9pm we've just been in a tornado watch, at least in my area of Oklahoma. There is a thunderstorm outside right now, and some people have reported baseball size hail. However, from what I can hear banging on my building, people in my immediate area are getting golf ball size hail. Which is better than baseball at least! The tornado watch stays with us until midnight. I look forward to getting the okay. Thank you for the prayers!

I hope you will soon get the Okay for being under the tornado watch . By the way , with those baseball size of hail , it would be so dangerous to be outside ? An umbrella won't do with a hail , right ?

Anything outside in hail is going to be damaged, and I have to think people are included. That kind of hail will take out windshields. That's what happened to mine three years ago.

@AmbiePam Oh . So when there's hail it's better to be inside the house or inside the office for those at work .

I guess there are many people below ground who take in others during these warnings. Hail that size would do a lot of damage anyway.

Insurance companies are going to be getting a lot of claims.

Thank you for your update, Amber. We are fine here. I am headed to bed. Bob already went. We are at the top of a hill so we are good as far as high water goes. My roof already needs a small repair, if we get hail perhaps I can get it covered with insurance. We have not had hail in my town, and we have not planted the tomatoes in the community garden yet.

Storms are brewing in many locations. I hope every stays clear of the hail.

Thank goodness for the kindness of that neighbour and the fact that your immediate area was spared anything worse.
