Could be a pretty major tornado that started in east Norman and is still going. The live stream has been pretty intense. Hard to know for sure what's actually on the ground besides some power flashes.

Sub-pump is running non-stop. I’ve got standing water in my backyard. We’ve only gotten like 1.5 inch of rain, but I think the ground is still frozen in spots

My car was filthy this morning! I ran the wipers and all the dirt that was on it was horrible. Came out of the gym and hour later as it had showered again and dirt again. That low pressure must have wrapped up a lot of dirt from Kansas, OK and the Texas panhandle!

Not exactly sure.

Probably was kinda dirty before but with the rain it washed little clean spots on your vehicle and took all the roof dirt down. Just didn't notice it before due to the even coat. In my area, that last windy day with the snow storm followed a warm spell that took us down to the dirty snow and the wind and new snow picked some of that up and covered vehicles. My one pickup looked good before that and was a mess after the snow.

I washed it Sunday morning. I did go to Iowa City yesterday so maybe it all came back with me.;)

Thur/Fri snow system trending south?? Looking to see impact to the I35 Hwy 20 corridor as I have college kid driving home for spring break Friday.
