Ironically, Tinker AFB is the site of the first accurate metrological tornado prediction back in 1948.

Yes, its true! Tornado frozen solid & is laying on it's side covering several towns.
Amazing story. Danger is when it melts it will raise havoc again.
Plans in the works to keep it frozen & haul it out to sea where it can thawout harmlessly.

Wow! We seem to be having a lot of tornadoes these days.
I've never actually seen one myself, although I have seen water spouts over water a few times.

Major Tornado Hits Oklahoma City Area
Thursday, May 08, 2003
OKLAHOMA CITY — A large tornado has apparently touched down in southern Oklahoma City (search) and its southeastern suburbs.
Footage showed heavy damage to Tinker Air Force Base in Midwest City and the General Motors (search) plant in south Oklahoma County. There were reports of injuries at the GM plant, but that could not be immediately confirmed.
The storm has parrelled Interstate 240, destroying metal industrial buildings, a mobile home sales lots, a bank, a fast-food restaurant and tossed 18-wheelers. There also were reports of leveled businesses near I-240, a major thoroughfare in central Oklahoma. Structures were stripped of roofs, automobiles and mobile homes were strewn across the landscape.
Power lines and large trees also were toppled and other debris could be seen. The large twister touched down in Moore, a southern Oklahoma City suburb, initially about 5:15 p.m. The tornado then tracked over Interstate 35 and over Crossroads Mall and tracked east-southeast toward Midwest City and Del City. Sirens sounded in Moore and the southern Oklahoma City area just before 5 p.m.
A television helicopter pilot said he saw a mobile home in the air near Moore. Officials have shut down eastbound I-240.

Anyone have a valid user name and password for the OK City newspaper? To register, you have to provide them with all sorts of very personal information, up to and including home address, phone number, income, mothers maiden name, dog's birthdate, etc.
