From snow storms a month ago to tornado warnings today!!
Thanks for the concern.
Tornado went east and south of the city. Pretty sparsely settled country, so little damage, and none in city limits, where we are. Farm is SW of town, and in the clear, too.
Entrance area of Palo Duro State Park took some damage, but no injuries, that I've heard.

They showed some of the storm chaser footage last night on the 10 p.m. news down here in Houston. One of the shots was labeled as being east of Ogg, Tx. (Not very often that one sees Ogg referenced in the news).

As I recall, Ogg is not a town or even a community, but merely a railroad switch name. There's an abandoned grain elevator there.

But Houston idiots don't know that
I'm hearing quite a few center pivots were knocked down in that weather. Spoke with one dealer yesterday. Morning and he had 6 down and was headed to assess 5 more that day and more were being called in.
I lost two pivots in weather when I was working land belonging to the city. So I didn't have to pay for the pivot, I just had to watch my crop burn up because they were in no damn hurry to replace them.
One was a microburst, I'm pretty sure, happened at night. The pivot dealer was amazed, as the pivot was rated for 90mph winds. I told him it must have been a 91mph wind, because it was trash.
The second was a gust front, probably 50-60 mile an hour winds. I happened to be plowing in that field at the time. Had my back to the pivot, and when I turned around at the end, I was peering through the dust, wondering what those big blobs were on top of the pivot.
Tires. They were the tires of the laid-over pivot that were up in the air.
