...PREPARE NOW for DANGEROUS storms TODAY and OVERNIGHT...

The following message is transmitted at the request of Oklahoma
Department of Emergency Management.

A severe weather outbreak is expected today and tonight across a
large portion of Oklahoma  including many areas recently impacted
by severe storms and tornadoes.

While not everyone will see severe storms today  any storms that
develop today and tonight will quickly become dangerous and
capable of producing destructive hail up to softball size
damaging wind gusts in excess of 80 mph and tornadoes  some of
which may be strong.

Severe storms will be possible in Murray County as early as 3 PM
this afternoon with the risk of severe storms continuing through
the night and ending by 2 AM Tuesday.

Avoid driving to shelter during the storm. Plan NOW to be near
sturdy shelter BEFORE storms arrive. Have multiple ways to receive
severe weather warnings  including ways that will wake you from
sleeping. Ensure Wireless Emergency Alerts are enabled on your
mobile device. Keep mobile devices and power banks charged.

If Tornado or Severe Thunderstorm warnings are issued for your
area  seek shelter immediately in an interior room of the lowest
floor of a sturdy building. Mobile homes and vehicles are NOT
sufficient shelter for tornadoes and destructive wind storms.
NEVER park under overpasses during severe weather.

Visit ready.gov/tornado for tips to keep your family safe during
severe storms.
