NWS Norman
@NWSNorman

We did a briefing for close to 400 of our emergency management and television partners. We thought it would be good to share some of the key point we discussed with them.

FYI,

OKC has road cameras so if it gets dicey here then you can sometimes see some cool video. Here’s the link: (note, they have an app but this works without the app)

They have less on the west side though, which is where it would likely come from.

Time for my usual public service announcement:

If you are in KS, OK, NE, MO, etc. and you see/experience a funnel cloud, tornado, hail, damage, or anything of note that you take a picture or video of, do not only share it with James Spann on Xwitter or Facebook. If you want to tag him, fine, but first tag your local NWS office and your preferred on air met or news channel. They are the people who can most effectively communicate your report to the public.

Also, Ryan Hall and such YouTube streamers are fine to watch......if you are a couple of states away, well removed from the threat. Do not rely on such people for coverage during an ongoing or eminent threat. Ryan Hall and others have little direct knowledge of your particular area, nor do they have any accountability to your community. Simply put, they have no real skin in the game. Rely on those people who live and work in your community for coverage if you and your family are under threat.

I definitely get the concept, but the whole "any storm that pops up is dangerous, full stop" is nonetheless a bit crazy for those of us who've never seen anything like that IRL
