Twister near Cherokee Oklahoma

My sister Linda lives in Cherokee.
They had a storm yesterday.
She sent me an email.


The morning was going along just fine...do ta do, do ta do.
The clouds got black blue and the rains came and then just a little hail, but it convered the ground and then it stopped. We all said 'Well, that's it" and started to go back to work...but no... The Thump...Thump...Thug...Thump.
All hell broke loose and the biggest shower of softball size hail encompassed our world and our cars and our street lights and our windshields, all broke out, and our skylights in the buildings that had them.
The hail was just dropping in through the roof.
I watched as our pickup got banged to death.
The tin roof made it sound just as bad as it was.
Our other pickup at home got the wimdow cracked and on both cars the hoods, top of pickups and a door will need to be replaced. Our roof at home will need to be replaced. Nearly all the linemen's cars in the parking lot have windows broke out AND there are really large divots in everybody's yards. Just like you were playing golf.
It was weird.
Mud debris all over the sides of buildings and homes. Not sure what that was all about.
But we are all okay.
Norman, where my son and his family live had the tornado pass right by them, but no damage to their stuff although some deaths. It really looks bad there.

That's my story and I'm stik n to it.
