They didn&#8217;t get to Tulsa and I was glad that they were over there and I wasn&#8217;t. At the bottom right of the photo is the first redbud blooms of Spring that I have seen this year.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday night was a different story. Their were a series of storms that spun up in the Oklahoma City and Moore areas and came up the turnpike to Tulsa and hit right around quitting time. A trailer park in the suburb of Sand Springs got hit and caused many injuries and one fatality as well as extensive damage. Heather and Logan were at home and I decided to stay at work. Being on the road is the worst place to be during a tornado.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"#Storm is causing problems at Holly Refinery #tornadowarning #oklahomaweather  #MyOklahoma #Tulsa by alnbbates, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/16743454758\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8709\/16743454758_942381ffc1.jpg\" alt=\"#Storm is causing problems at Holly Refinery #tornadowarning #oklahomaweather  #MyOklahoma #Tulsa\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>My office is a beige box in the interior of the building so I stayed there instead of going out side and taking pictures. I did get this one grainy shot of a flare at one of the local refineries. I don&#8217;t think the refinery was damaged, most likely it was just a process upset. They will be filling out paperwork for a week for causing so much smoke though.<\/p>\n<p>This could be another wild year for storms here in the heartland.<\/p>\n<h1>Linking with <a href=\"http:\/\/skyley.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Skywatch Friday<\/a><\/h1>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em;\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\" style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0; overflow: hidden;\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/kdvr.com\/2015\/03\/25\/destructive-tornadoes-make-direct-hits-in-oklahoma-city-tulsa-areas\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"\/\/i.zemanta.com\/333627918_80_80.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 83px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px; background-image: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/kdvr.com\/2015\/03\/25\/destructive-tornadoes-make-direct-hits-in-oklahoma-city-tulsa-areas\/\" target=\"_blank\">Destructive tornadoes make direct hits in Oklahoma City, Tulsa areas<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/kfor.com\/2015\/03\/25\/tulsa-tornado-one-person-dead-up-to-60-homes-destroyed-in-trailer-park\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"\/\/i.zemanta.com\/333655736_80_80.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 83px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px; background-image: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/kfor.com\/2015\/03\/25\/tulsa-tornado-one-person-dead-up-to-60-homes-destroyed-in-trailer-park\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tulsa tornado: One person dead, up to 60 homes destroyed in trailer park<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wowt.com\/home\/headlines\/Storms-Hammer-Oklahoma-297599611.html\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"\/\/i.zemanta.com\/333667965_80_80.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 83px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px; background-image: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wowt.com\/home\/headlines\/Storms-Hammer-Oklahoma-297599611.html\" target=\"_blank\">Deadly Storms Hammer Oklahoma<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/wires\/ap\/article-3011602\/Weather-service-Tornado-likely-touched-Arkansas.html?ITO=1490&amp;ns_mchannel=rss&amp;ns_campaign=1490\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"\/\/i.zemanta.com\/333637020_80_80.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 83px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px; background-image: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/wires\/ap\/article-3011602\/Weather-service-Tornado-likely-touched-Arkansas.html?ITO=1490&amp;ns_mchannel=rss&amp;ns_campaign=1490\" target=\"_blank\">1 person killed when tornadoes hit Oklahoma, Arkansas<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first Spring storm clouds of the season were pretty spectacular Tuesday night.
