50+ Tornado Warnings, 11.5 hours on shift, 4 pizzas for lunch, dinner is ordered...and we're still going. Tornado Warnings don't stop coming, and they don't stop coming. This office is filled with all-stars.

What if I told you, Baylor was picked to win the Big 12? What if I told you, Nebraska's biggest all-time rivalry was with Texas? What if I told you, we haven't seen Baker Mayfield make any tough throws? ESPN presents...a 30 for 30. "Things Joey Galloway Has Said"

One of the most unique things I saw on a damage survey yesterday. A small church steeple was lofted about 0.3 miles away. That tornado was rated EF2.

At DFW Airport at Smashburger. Guy behing the counter sees my OU shirt and says, "Can you say Hook 'Em Horns?" I say, "You know, it's literally a hamburger. That's what I ordered. That's what you're cooking." I think it took him 5 minutes to stop laughing.

Best of luck to Mike Stoops. He coached some great defenses in the 2000s and during the first few years of his return to OU. But, yesterday was not a one-off. It's been a growing trend for years. It's time for a change. Thanks for your hard work over the years. #BoomerSooner

@pmarshwx How does this compare on a seasonal basis? It was relatively quiet until mid to late April, so I'm not sure the seasonal numbers are too much above the norm. The last month or so has definitely been VERY active. I've fielded a lot of media inquiries asking about this.

@KennedyClouds They thought the radar was frying them, so they refused to go back to their controls until the radar was shut off. So, the new 88D was shutdown for a few days, the tower was lined was radar reflective foil, and the radar software was programmed not to transmit down that radial.
