National Weather Service in Tulsa reporting Denning is destroyed.

Going to end up as another EF-3+ tornado IMO. You can just tell by what was observed on RADAR and how the mets on TV get somewhat a loss for words.

It should be noted that one of the mets you hear, Joe, was born and raised in Altus and his family still lives there. Bad time for him.

Normally I would be skeptical of such early reports but the MIC reporting Denning appears "destroyed" is not good...given the time...fear we have more people that have just died...will have to hope that maybe this won't be as bad as it sounds...

My heart is breaking over the plight of hard working people in Denning, probably asleep in their homes tonight. This is just horrific.

In my subjective experience, generally when you get immediate reports of severe/extreme damage within 10 minutes or less of the tornado actually occurring, it usually means it's really bad. Likewise for injuries/fatalities...the quicker you hear news, the worse it is.

This is horrific. As I stated earlier, my family and I left our home for a little while for a more substantial shelter. We had pretty high winds come through, but no damage in my immediate area. I was in the hallway of my friend's home, keeping my two kids and her two in the bathroom. It was pretty noisy, more so than I've heard in a while, so I'll be honest and say that I was pretty scared. We're back home now and watching 40/29 in disbelief. (B. Sebo, we'd be watching 5 but its blipping in and out on our digital antenna.) I have an aunt and some cousins in Ozark who were in the hallway taking cover when I called to make sure they were awake. They're fine, but it sounds like Denning has taken quite a hit. (Edited to correct user name mistake.)
