Today was the day most of the Midwest tested their tornado sirens after the winter to make sure they work before tornado season.
At 5:02 PM a half mile wide tornado touched down in Northeast Oklahoma (near Keystone Lake), and stayed on the ground for quite a distance. I found a radar map showing the thing just west of Sand Springs at 5:19 PM CDT, where it destroyed a trailer park, overturned 60 or more trailers, and destroyed the community center which had 60 or 70 people inside. One person was killed and several others were injured inside the trailers that were overturned. It then continued on the ground into West Tulsa.
Other tornados touched down near Moore, where the massive E-5 plowed through last May, and near the Oklahoma City fair grounds. Around 65,000 people in Osage, Tulsa and OKC areas are without power.
Besides the tornados there was baseball size hail and drenching rains, causing some flooding.
I guess the drought is broken.

For Sand Springs...Jim Eshelman wrote:
Arilunar ("chart of the week"). Moon and Mars conjoined straddling Descendant, with Moon 0°10' from the angle, Mars less than 2° below.
Caplunar (for the month), Uranus 0°16' from WP (while 0°03' from square Pluto). Mars is nearby.
The key to this seems to be the violence.
