In the latest installment of Oklahoma's elected officials not having the necessary background to do their jobs, we have this:
The Satanic Temple plans to place ministers in Oklahoma schools if new bill becomes law
Of course Oklahoma legislators don't want those chaplains in schools. And, it apparently never occurred to them that allowing one religion means allowing ALL religions.

#Washington, #Oklahoma: National Weather Service: #TORNADO WARNING in this area until 10:45 PM CDT. Take shelter now in a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building. If you are outdoors, in a mobile home, or in a vehicle, move to the closest substantial shelter and protect yourself from flying debris. Check media. Source: NWS Tulsa OK
This tornado has caused major destruction even if it is weakening somewhat.
If you are in #Dewey#Oklahoma please take shelter IMMEDIATELY, this storm has destroyed large areas, has a debris ball, and 2 deaths have been reported.
I'm probably going to be doing relays for tornado warnings, but if you are in #Texas#Oklahoma#Kansas#Nebraska, or Indigenous #TribalLands in that space landlocked by the US SPECIFICALLY - have multiple ways to access weather warnings.
Make sure your phone is on, charged, and not on Do Not Disturb. Have a NOAA weather radio, ideally. Find some local media coverage if you have it.
