Big yawn here.

I woke up to some wild winds earlier wondering if things were flying around but it's over now. No rain :(

Well, I guess I'm getting jade when they say "baseball sized hail." I dutifully put my sweet potato slips and transplants (still in their containers) under cover, stuck something over a few select plants, in the garden, and went to bed. I heard wind during the night. But it's actually dry outside this morning!

I totally agree with you Dawn. Back in the 90s we had a massive hail storm, in central Mexico, where we were living. When I looked at the garden, I reported "no damage." There was no damage, as there was "no garden." The only thing visible besides bare earth were little "sticks" with no leaves, which were my corn plants. They went on to produce a decent crop. My sweet potatoes, though defoliated, sprouted new leaves and produced a normal crop. I can't remember more on that. But it was good to leave things be a while and see.

Safe here! We got about 1 3/4" of rain no hail some wind but not bad.

I covered all tomato plants and the milk weed LOL!!

Hope you are all safe.

Looked like it was forming up over our heads moving East. About an hour or so later it was backing up and going South of us... along with some warnings, but haven't heard of anything bad happening... no rain here, either. A friend in Grove reported that a tornado was spotted on the ground near Commerce, OK.

Yes, the clouds split here and we got nothing. Amazing.

It was a dark and stormy night and our weather radio went off for at least 4 hours nonstop as tornadic circulations danced through the skies near us, but not many made it to the ground.

A tornado touched down near Ringling in the county adjacent to us and headed towards Wilson, Healdton and Lone Grove. After spotters confirmed power flashes and a tornado on the ground near Ringling, they got a Particularly Dangerous Situation Tornado Warning and that got everyone in our county stirred up. And, that was the way it should been because all those communities at risk are right along the Carter-Love county line, so folks living near there should have been watching and even heading for shelter. We had spotters out, lots of traffic on our GroupMe app and radios, etc. but all we got out of this was hail, rain and wind as far as I know.

Our final tornado warning, for the one seemingly headed towards us, was abruptly cancelled when that supercell abruptly jumped the river and headed away from us. Then we got pounded by a severe thunderstorm that dropped 1.25" of rain (more than we'd had the whole month of May so far) and, in some parts of our neighhborhood but not here, hail. I was more worried about hail than tornadoes because I have some huge onions bulbed up above ground but not yet developing soft necks. I had to resist the urge around midnight to run yank them out of the ground for their own good as big hail approached parts of our county.

I found no damage in the garden except for 1 onion with a snapped neck (it wasn't at the soft neck stage so the wind merely broke its neck early), a rain gauge blown over and lying on the ground and another rain gauge totally missing.

Ok, I'm out for the day. Y'all have a good time and let's be thankful that the wicked weather seemingly did little damage and missed most all of us. I hope the folks who haven't checked in are okay. I haven't watched the news yet to hear how folks outside of OK fared. I hope the damage across the country isn't as bad as they feared it would be. From watching TWC last night, I suspect there is a lot of wind damage in some areas across the country.

Tulsa mesonet station got 1.37. I can't see the gauge clearly, but it's not that much, looks like 1/4". I thought I heard hail, but when I looked it seemed to be very heavy rain drops.
