Big Severe Wx Outbreak around 10/18/07 in Plains

Dryline right over I35 right now.

Everyone in Missouri needs to be on alert, this could get bad for them late this evening and into the overnight hours.

Very true, and nocturnal outbreaks can be devastating.

Does Tulsa have good coverage?

OKC >*

Tulsa channel 8 is decent. I'm streaming OKC right now though they're the best on the planet.

Yep, looks like OKC should be all clear soon...but eastern OK/KS will be going into big time storms...

Tulsa has pretty good TV mets and does pretty well to let people know when to be serious. It helps that things are kicking off around news time, so the word will get out pretty quickly. Tulsa has some good radio outlets as well. Channel 6 is pretty good in T-Town as well: for a while, they had the three best mets in town.

Cells starting to go up fast south and east of the OKC area. That area has not had the mixing the rest of the area has had, I would expect anything that goes up to become severe very quickly.

I'd say along a line from Sherman to Muskogee could be a big threat in the next little while...

I was watching a KS City one earlier for the Warrensurg area storm. She wasn't very good, IMO.
