Oklahoma Weather

Here's the latest we've experienced due to Oklahoma weather. 

Wind storm


Over the last 5 years:
Hail Storm #1 (that's Tristan's huge paw) 
This was 2 years ago. We got a new roof.
Three months ago we had another storm. Again...a new roof.

Record breaking heat and drought for the past 2 years.
Notice the buckled gutter. 

"Popcorn Clouds"; these are on the tail end of a tornado producing storm that blew through.
Tristan unknowingly drove right through it...more like was blown through and survived it!

Electric storms and lightning strikes. The thunder out here is like a bomb blast.


And my personal favorite, the ice storm. 
Nothing like hearing cracking all through the night and wondering if a branch is about to come through your roof. It was like lumberjacks were working throughout the neighborhood for 2 days straight.
