More weird weather. In Oklahoma City, on May 30, 2019 it is 60 degrees outside. Clear blue skies and pretty weather for the next two days.
Then the rains return. We are at over three times normal rainfall for this month alone. So far this year in Oklahoma, over the entire state we have had 191 Tornado warnings, 678 Severe storm warnings, and 132 flash flood warnings.
The average for tornado season of May to August are the peak months, and we average 56 tornadoes per year. This year in May alone we have had 68.
I don't ever remember the flooding in Tulsa like this year. Like so many settlers the pick an area close to a river to for the obvious reasons. Kansas rivers drain into the Arkansas river and goes through Tulsa, and they have had over 18 inches of rain in the NE Oklahoma area. All of that drains into the same river systems, and into Ft. Smith area and they are have historic and record breaking floods. That of course all ends up in the Mississippi and they are flooding as well.
Right now in my part of the city, there is not any sign of bad weather damage. No flooding, no problems at all. We have been lucky with the hail and bad winds.
