I have a large picture window facing north from my living room, and a nice little porch there as well.
Right now there is a pretty darn large Cumulonimbus building right over my head. Looks pretty neat on radar too. Just look for the tiny storms building right over the x of Oklahoma City.
Always reminds me of a Jiffy Pop container as it is popping.

Storm is moving north into Logan County. The area of rotation is near I35, but the storm is really a weak rotation. Think that stuff building over to the west may be sucking some life out of it as they combine there. (my opinion)
David Payne has it in sight, and the view is live on our local stations (we always go live and full time if a tornado threatens the viewing area), The rotation is really weak, but the whole storm is rotating.
The one over in Pott county just went tornadic. Okfuskee county just got a warning.
Keep in mind nothing is moving TOWARDS me currently, so that is why I can sit here and be sorta calm about it all.

Sunny skies above me to be honest, here on southside. I can see the storms on all sides of me, but nothing coming my way currently. Moisture in the air is pretty darn thick tho.
That one over near Henryetta looks serious tho, on radar, and there is a confirmed tornado on the ground by Oklahoma Highway Patrol there.
The only thing I am concerned about is the location of my boyfriend, who is driving down I44 from Tulsa and my niece who is going to be landing at the airport from Las Vegas here in about an hour!
Still live coverage on the tube, and simulcasting on the radio:

Monitoring radars of central Oklahoma.
Stay safe!
Pretty amazing stuff, from tiny cumulonimbus out my front window to a major tornado outbreak in less than 2 hours, huh?
I am just now seeing some Jiffy Pop Popcorn to the south of me.
Spotters have seen at least 5 on the ground by my count. Latest is over by McAlester and Lake Eufala, and over by Agra Oklahoma.

It is really quite a contrast, and I tried to go next door and borrow my neighbor's digital camera, but alas they are not home. My neighbors, believe it or not, are out mowing and gardening. (no kidding) I personally went out and washed out my trash can, and had a good look at them.
I can see large Cumulonimbus on all sides of me, some darker than others, the one to the east is frightening looking to me, if it was coming at me I would be running for the hidey hole.
Now they are JUST NOW building above me and the NOAA down in Norman, bet the guys down in the severe storms lab are lookin out the window!
