     No, the closest sighting was around Dexter. However, some of the wheat got laid down. Hope it recovers.

Pic's of the DAY:  Moore, OK.

""US Marines just found this US Flag buried in the rubble. They raised the flag just now," reported the Weather Network's Jaclyn Whittal."

"Navy guys tell me that the flag -they guess from someone's home- was raised like this when they got here," reported TIME's Jay Small

Other flags were raised above the tornado rubble, including this one from the Plaza Towers elementary school.

"A symbol of the #Moore community's resilience through tough times– the American flag back up at Plaza Towers School," reported FOX-25 Reporter Priscilla Luong.

Has anyone heard from Frank Winn?  He lives in Oklahoma, doesn't he?

The Tornado Titans got caught up in a tornado cluster in Oklahoma tonight...
A barn and large bale of hay flew right at the car.  They thought they were going to die!
WILD VIDEO—
Titans scream, "We're gonna die!!"

From the video: Brett and Brandon got extremely close to a violent tornadic circulation that produced multiple tornadoes in very close range... The team was hit by inflow jet winds into the tornado and their vehicle received damage as a barn was completely destroyed. A hay bale came barreling across the road and was tossed into their car.. The team is very fortunate to live to chase another day... Incredible storm chaser traffic prevented an escape from the tornado like normal.. There have been fatalities with this tornado.. The team's thoughts go out to those affected!

The Weather Channel Tornado Hunt Team was also shaken up after their chase vehicles took a direct hit by a violent tornado west of Oklahoma City

Frank Winn DOES live in Oklahoma in Bartlesville in the NE part of the state. 

Here in the OKC area, it is a beautiful Saturday morning with cool temperatures and sunny skies, much different from our roller coaster night of tornadoes and flooding.  No damage at our home, and our kids are fine in their areas, too.  Others are not so fortunate............................

Thanks Warph, we are fine, had Tornadoes all around us last night. We have a solid steel safe room and several neighbors came over last night and we were in it for awhile. Twice in the last week we have had people gather in our safe room. Karen, looks like traffic and storms were bad in your area last night.
