Good morning,
This afternoon and evening look to be quite active for severe weather events in a rather large area. Here is a NOAA map that is fairly recent;
The primary focus remains in the Oklahoma City area but the last scientific forecasts I read from last night for Dallas and Kansas City were not encouraging. Minimally all these areas will see hail and straight line winds at a minimum. The likelihood of tornado activity is fairly high, especially in Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri.
I'll post the latest guidance from NWS as soon as it becomes available. I know we have friends in the Dallas/Fort Worth and Enid besides my wife and I here in KC. Prayers would be a good thing.
This is the first time I have gone around my home to find a 'safe place'. There is none. But we do have a solid oak bed that was hand built by the horse & buggy folks in Pennsylvania. It is solid. If push comes to shove we will crawl under the bed. Having a plan, just in case, is always the smart thing to do.
Blessings & stay safe
