Some good hail in that storm near Tulsa! A pretty impressive hail spike combined with azimuthal side lobe seems to indicate there's either big hail, a lot of hail, or both! Seems that right now ~1" hail has been dropping.

To stay safe from thunderstorms: 1. Plan to be inside before thunderstorms develop 2. Keep moving towards a lightning-safe place if thunderstorms develop when you're outside 3. Don't use the lightning crouch! #LightningSafety www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
usatoday.com
Don't listen to this common thunderstorm safety advice
The lightning crouch, a baseball-catcher-like stance some cite as a safeguard against lightning strikes, offers no meaningful protection, experts say.
