re: 25 Years Ago, May 3, 1999 F5 OK Tornado

One thing you notice it was on a beeline for TAFB and veered north last minute. Then new tornadoes set down NE of Tinker in MWC and Choctaw. It was flat out craziness my kids still remember to this day.

My neighbor was an old man and he stayed, said he was too old to worry about it. Said both our houses got saved and the tornado lifted just as approached in our back yards (we had 2 acre lots). Said he watched it take out some trees in my yard and his sat dish and part of his garage along with our fences. I had some roof damage and needed a new fence plus trees. Plus some missing kids things like trampoline and swing set. I had no phone for 8 days it took out the city telephone HQ.
