It's crazy if you go down below them while they are letting water out. One wrong step and you're history.

This was back in the late 80s, but I remember as a kid being there one summer, and they were letting water through, and it was creating all of these pools of water in the rock below the dam, in holes that were normally dry, and there were a shitload of people fishing those holes, or in some cases, using big-ass nets.  It was weird as hell - some of these things looked about the size of a backyard swimming pool that had decent-sized fish, but the whole time I was thinking "wow, this place is dangerous, there was nothing that kept us from coming down here and there's no place to go if things go bad".  Just a wide-open area.  One of my more bizarre fishing experiences.  Thanks dad and uncles?

Would love to see a live shot of those gates.

    is the excessive rain this year being triggered from the ash rising to the atmosphere from the concentration camps on our border?  Like volcanoes creating storms when the erupt?

    So after my company started sending people home, a coworker of mine who takes the metro in from cypress left to catch the bus. He got to the NW transit center at 610 and old Katy road and they decided

Damn, they are showing multiple storm chasers on the Live link there.

Barges have broken loose on the Arkansas (McKlellan-Kerr or whatever).   Those things could fuck up dams/spillways.

Keystone is releasing 215,000 CF of feet per second, and they are prepping for 300,000.   Tulsa is fucked.  They said they've never pushed this much water before.  

They just said they're letting out over 200,000 cf of water per second at the Keystone Dam and are preparing to up it to 300,000. Saying they could see historic flooding on the scale of '86. I was two when that happened and living in Denver, but it is always referenced as the worst ever for the area.

Piotrowski is in the fucking zone.

@phdhorn is Piotrowski the one storm chaser you can stand?  He's talking 90 miles a second about all of this stuff.

I have a theory - Piotrowski gets off of Periscope when he wants to go well above the speed limit.

I do not miss this tornado shit. Just constantly popping up all damn night.

They're now telling Webers Falls to evacuate before those barges hit the dam.

They are evacuating towns along the McClellan–Kerr/Arkansas River, because they are concerned that loose barges are going to take out dams/locks/bridges.  They are running Lifeflight helicopters over the river looking for barges.

Fucking nuts.

I suppose the Catoosa Blue Whale is probably gone.

At this point, they must be looking for the barges simply to give a heads-up.  There's no way in hell they can stop them.

Holy shit it looks like a massive tornado on the ground close to Jay.

Holy fuck they just showed it silhouetted against the clouds, that thing is massive.  Nightmare fuel.

Crazy that they have barges loose on the river that are potentially going to wreck locks and flood people, and that's not the biggest story right now.

Looks like they found them and they are about to hit the locks.

Estimate that it will hit between 9:55-10:05pm

https://www.newson6.com has a camera watching the locks

I lived for a few years in Oklahoma as a kid, lived in Lubbock as an adult, went through this shit, and have too many relatives in North Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas, and yeah, do not miss any of this at all.

Can't believe they are getting additional spin-ups at this time of night.

I do like the Channel 6 weather team - they are on-the-ball - our news crews in Austin never have to come close to this kind of stuff.

Travis Meyer is the man. Calm and collected and non-stop coverage with spotters all over the area. I grew up with these Tulsa weather guys and they know their shit.

Showing my age, but I have a Gusty drawing from Don Woods.

So the barges slowed down, but are getting close.

The lockmaster is confident that the barges won't wreck the locks.

Chances that he's an aggy feel pretty high.

I'm picturing him pulling a Lt. Dan and strap himself to the locks.

Damn thats a blast from the past. 

It was the norm growing up hearing tornado sirens multiple times a year in north Dallas. Totally agree I don’t miss it.

So God hates North Texas and Oklahoma?

Holy shit, they have another tornado on the ground in Skiatook, and the guys chasing it can't see it, just the power flashes as it hits power lines.

That is either ballsy or dumb as hell.

Travis Meyer is amazing.  He's juggling like half a dozen storm trackers all at once and is flipping through various radar/sensor images like it's nothing.  I know he's got a big-ass map and has people talking into his earpiece, but he's just not stumbling, and he probably has very little sleep in the past 24 hours.

Fucking sirens by my house nonstop even though the storms are all to the north. STFU already! At least I have the OSU Big 12 tourney game to watch.

Wow, they just showed those barges making it under bridges earlier in the day, and they were massive.

edit: There is a huge bend above the locks, I'm betting the barges got hung up.

Yeah, well we won the NIT.

I told my wife I'm not going to bed until these barges blast into these locks.  It's been over an hour since they were supposed to hit, but no one can find them now.  I'm about to go find them myself to I can go to sleep.

Sirens finally off, game is over, barges are probably hung up in some farmers back yard. I’m off to bed.

Missouri's capital city, Jefferson City, just got hit hard by a tornado, reports of many trapped.  Parts of the city were already under evacuation orders as a levee on the Missouri River is expected to be overtopped.

Holy shit, helluva debris ball - this is currently live.

 

Storm chaser on https://www.newson6.com - you can hear the tornado.   He's way too close.

Tornado near Vinita is up to a mile wide.

And that chaser keeps getting up to close to it.

This thread is pretty stunning.

click on the date link and read through.  Dozens of calls for stuff in a small area with a dense population.

on twitter, somebody just put this out there:

"Getting a report on police scanners that Fulton Medical Center was wiped out and 350 people are declared missing"

Damn, now I feel guilty for getting drunk tonight.

People are getting excited about trees being stripped of their bark for whatever reason.

And the first decent photo.
