Stupid question, is the expo center the one that sits to the northwest of the track?

good morning,
that was a very long evening!!!
There is extensive damage from expo center(located on north side of fair gounds) and tracking north from there. My family was spared damage(we live on the NW side of Enid) but please pray for everyone who has damaged homes and businesses!!!
I guess there is another chance of storms today, hopefully there are NO TORNADOS!!!

Jaydad keep your eyes to the sky today. YOu are already in a tornado watch till 7 tonight. The storms lab down in norman is going to upgrade your area to a high risk of storms. They do not do this all the time. OKc is in a moderate risk.

I live in Kremlin and at 2 am they said a 3/4 milr wide was going to hit. Well me and my family took off to my friend Johnies he live about 2 miles south of Kremlin. We wached the tornado hit Kremlin from his house.Big power flashes and then you could see the whole town g dark. Well took off to get home but the highway patrol said it was to dangerus to go into town. 'Now that was hard not knowing' Got to git in this morning and was very luck! Every pole was down, roofs gone and trees uprooted. I had a 350 feet wood fence lost part of that some windows, siding and some shingels. The welding shop is 2 blocks west of my houseand its pretty much gone. That is when it took a sharp left turn towards Pond Creek. Just thank god that it turned when it did and no one hurt. Insurance company is coming out in the morning hope they dont screw us over. But to everyone that it Affected from North Enid to Kremlin GOD was keeping a eye on us! Just got the lights back on. OG&E did one heck of a job!
