That storm was predicted a week before it formed. The day before the forecast was for a big storm and the warning to be weather aware was repeated over and over. That afternoon we watched on live TV the storm form up 100 miles away. It was broadcast live on at least three TV stations as it hit the ground and came northeast. It was like listening to the Storm Trooper music from Star Wars, it was coming and there was nothing to do but get ready. We watched it on TV at our house and we were relieved it was going to south OKC and not even close to our part of town. We never even lost electricity in our part of town. The city mobilized and the help poured into Moore. 36 people died in that one. Most of them in their cars or under bridges. That is the wrong thing to do.
