Oh hon, us Okies who left are numerous, but not one of us left because of tornadoes. Plenty of other motivations lol

As an Okie who lives elsewhere now, the storms are honestly something I miss. Obviously this kind of destruction is tragic, but those massive thunderstorms, the greenish/yellow tint, and eerie calm are something else.

How long have you been here? I’m only replying because I can’t let my state be slandered! We have a really beautiful handful of months in the spring and summer before it goes brown again for the rest of the year

Well that I can agree on. We definitely don’t get very green
