Tornadoes touched down Monday evening in rural Oklahoma as large hail pelted parts of Kansas.
Tornadoes touched down Monday evening in rural Oklahoma and large hail pelted parts of Kansas as an outbreak of dangerous storms brought the possibility of strong twisters staying on the ground for many miles.Forecasters have issued a rare high-risk weather warning for the two states, the first for Oklahoma in five years.'You can't rely on waiting to see tornadoes before sheltering tonight,' the National Weather Service said.
Monte Tucker, a farmer and rancher in the far western Oklahoma town of Sweetwater, spent Monday putting some of his tractors and heavy equipment in barns to protect it from hail and letting his neighbors know they can come to his house if the weather becomes dangerous.'We built a house 10 years ago, and my stubborn wife put her foot down and made sure we built a safe room,' Tucker said. He said the entire ground-level room is built with reinforced concrete walls.
