does it tornado in tulsa, ok or broken arrow, ok?

Question

I've lived in broken arrow ever since 1999. But I just want to make sure that theres no tornado in broken arrow or tulsa.

Answer 1

That area of Oklahoma has a low to moderate risk of tornadoes every year. This doesn't mean that there will be a tornado there all the time. In Tulsa County, from 1950 to 2009, there were 70 tornadoes reported.

Answer 2

I live in Broken Arrow and I remember a lot of sirens, but not much in the way of actual tornadoes touching down. I googled it, though, and came up with these:

April of 2006, a brief touchdown by a weak tornado occurred in northeast Tulsa. The weak twister caused some minor damage at the Tulsa International Airport and an adjacent hotel. The storm served as a reminder how unpredictable Tulsa weather can be.

May 4, 1999

One of the final tornadoes in the outbreak almost hit the studios of ABC affiliate KTUL-TV in Tulsa, located on Lookout Mountain, a few miles west of the city itself, at around 12:15 a.m. CDT on May 4. Then chief meteorologist Travis Meyer advised his co-workers to take shelter while still on the air reporting on the approaching tornado. It weakened before reaching the station.

Answer 3

This is funny. Sure they have them, it doesn't precisely hit there. It could be on one side of town and not the other. Oh and if you hear the tornado alarm go off don't freak, step outside to see if you see a funnel cloud coming. Don't worry lived in OK my whole life, my house is still on the ground.

Answer 4

I'm sorry, can't help you there, I live in Michigan. I hope you can get someone! Good luck! I will star for my contacts. Oh, and to answer your question, I have never been part of a transport. GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 5

First of all... "tornado" is not a verb. Please refrain from using it as one.



Second... Oklahoma is located in an extremely tornado-prone region of the country, so yes, the possibility of there being a tornado in or near those cities exists.

Answer 6

may be in broken arrow! i not sure it
