As the emergency management office for Comanche County, OK and the City of Lawton, we prepare and react to all disasters in our area, both natural and man-made.
Due to technical difficulties, our warnings are not making it across to the NOAA Weather Radios. Please remember to have multiple ways to receive warnings with an increasing severe storm threat tonight. #okwx#txwx
A Tornado Watch is in effect for parts of western Oklahoma and western North Texas until 8 PM CDT. This is a particularly dangerous situation. Several tornadoes (a few intense), very large hail (2-3 in.), and wind gusts up to 75 mph are the expected hazards. Stay weather aware.
If you haven't seen a storm yet today, chances are still good you will before the afternoon/evening are over. Now is the time to make sure you and your family are ready JUST IN CASE a tornado happens near you later today. #okwx
