Yesterday, as expected severe weather broke out in parts of the southern Plains, especially in Oklahoma, where a few tornadoes were reported.

As an aside, this outbreak of severe weather is an ingredient that will lead to quite a big of wet weather here in Vermont during the middle of the week. It's still unclear how much rain we'll get, but it could be a lot.

Which is OK, because we need it.

Anyway, here's the view last night from inside a vehicle in a Norman, Oklahoma parking lot: This tornado was near the Riverwind Casino, which suffered some damage in the storm. A Beach Boys concert was in progress inside the casino when the tornado hit. There are no reports of serious injuries.

Here's the video:
