What happened in my small town in Oklahoma,U.S.A. was new to us.Since our town does'nt usualy go into emergency state it was pretty darn scary.Me and my family started noticing the clouds starting to roll and start circulating.(Is that even a word?) Then the winds came,we had about 80 to 100 mph winds on us.The wind knocked trees over,Broke tree limbs off,and brought tree limbs to areas where there are no trees.The ran pounded down extremly hard and eventuly(sp?) hail started to fall.The hail was about the size of golfballs.It did'nt get a good look at it and my parents would'nt let me go outside.The thunder and ligthning was beautiful.It would light up the areas to seem it was daylight.(All this started around 7:30 p.m. and ended at 12:15 a.m.)The damage to our town was horrible.Tree limbs everywhere.No electricty.Floods(small ones).Trees that had fallin across the road.Trees fallin in people yards.A TREE FELL ON SOMEONE'S TRAILOR(sp?) HOUSE!!!!!! My house was untouched except for the no electricty,and we have trees all around us! My dogs were going crazy before the storm.We did'nt get our electricty back for about 5 hours.Can you imagine how boring that would be? And still there was no tornado.I thought there was going to be one,but there was'nt. And the creepy thing is...someone at my dad's work said that all this would happen.Or he's just pulling my leg which I think he is.Man,my town is a wreck.

SomeGuy I'm sorry to read that your hometown was hit by this big storm. I know they are exciting and scary at the same time. Hopefully no one was injured or killed and thankfully, as you said, this storm was not accompanied by a tornado. As bad as the damage was, that would have made it so much worse. Sounds like a major clean up job is in order. .

Sorry to here about your town someguy but this sounds really strange. If your area doesn't normally get bad weather where did he come from? It almost sounds as if it could have been caused by the paranormal.
And that guy who knew it was going to happen sounds like a bit of a witch or even worse a weather forecaster!! Let us know if anything else strange happens. Maybe your town is located on ley lines because a lot of wierd stuff happens there.
