I'm in a 2nd floor room at a hotel in OKC. I don't know what to do in a tornado scenario.
Go talk to the front desk people. I'm sure they have a protocol for the entire building.

Talk to the front desk and see what they tell you to do. I'm sure they've got a safe place to go. Just keep an eye out for warnings. NWS Norman is an excellent office, one of the best. So pay attention when they put out warnings.
This thread will probably post them too, but make sure you can get warnings on your phone.

seriously though... get on a low floor and in a hallway or bathroom... since you're in OKC they may even have a special severe storm room to go to so you may want to get a lay of the land quickly
Just called the front desk, they told me to kiss my arse goodbye too, they're going home.
They have a plan. gotta go down and there's an area to go to.

Always nerve racking when they throw up a PDS and there isn't a current supercell in the area to be seen.
It's coming though.

can see some showers developing in the watch, won't be long.

Ive been in OKC during a tornado before. Its just another day to those people up there. There was a warning issued so Im freaking out and the front desk said man you need to chill, we dont stress untill they are a mile away. Here is some drink vouchers go relax. I was then standning at a window a 10 minutes later watching a tornado in the distance like the rest of them. Still pretty stressful but was cool to see.

No joke. It's got every parameter you look for in spades in the watch region. Thinking it'll be about 3 pm before you really see it popping off. The dry line should provide a focus as it swings in.

The overnight threat is especially worrisome
Posted on 5/20/19 at 12:54 pm to GEAUXmedic
Overnight tornadoes are not terribly common for the region either.

What does convective inhibition bode for us in the Falls
Thank you

It means there's something keeping the air from rising. I expect it won't be there for too much longer there though.

I left my office and am working from home the rest of the day. My Arkansas arse did not grow up around this mess. When people in the office who are from Oklahoma get worried, I get even more worried. Though, the thought seems to be there is a chance a lot of the storms may stay to the west of or along I-44. I am just a bit southeast of Tulsa in Wagoner County.
