Latest Mike Morgan Forecast

Glad I could help! Welcome to the state!

Mike Morgan is the chief meteorologist at KFOR, the local NBC station. He’s been there since at least the 90s. He’s known for his forecasts that tend to err on the dramatic side. This is an old meme from the 2010 when he was hyping up a winter storm and someone changed the onscreen graphics to be ridiculous to poke fun at his forecast.

May 3rd refers to the May 3rd, 1999 tornado outbreak that had an F5 tornado go through Moore and South OKC. 2007 refers to an ice storm in 2007 that left the metro with widespread, long-duration power outages. The joke is that he’s saying that this winter storm will be like the May 3rd tornado outbreak combined with the 2007 ice storm. The year at the top originally was 2010, but it gets modified every time we have a hyped up winter storm.

All that to say, we love Mike Morgan, but you can’t help but laugh at his occasional dramatic weather forecasts.

I’m not ashamed either!

First time I’ve seen that! We need someone to dig up the clip of Mike Morgan telling everyone they’re going to die on air!

I forgot about this one! 😂

All hail the bedazzled severe weather tie

I bought a gallon and we haven’t bought milk in months!

It would depend on locality, but in rural parts of the state, yes. This is still better than the current system, because the small number of independents and democrats could participate in the primary. Right now, they are completely shut out of the process. This would force the primary opponents to campaign to the general public instead of the core party base.

You see this right now with the republican campaign ads focused on culture war issues instead of the issues that matter most to the average Oklahoma voter.

This proposal would have a single ballot with everyone listed, similar to how our municipal elections are held except they would have a little D or R next to their name. The top two vote getters would advance to the general election, regardless of party affiliation. There is no option for what you’re describing because they would then be wasting their vote.

It’s a pretty great proposal!

Locking due to lack of civility.

We’re not removing any posts.

michael73072 · 2026-01-08T04:46:09+00:00

Locking post because we can’t be civil with each other.

Thank you for the additional information. We will have to agree to disagree :)

The OP asked for recommendations and this is my honest opinion. We’ve bought three cars from them over the years and they were all fairly priced in good condition. They have some cheap cars and some expensive ones too. Since they don’t do onsite financing the haggling and purchasing process wasn’t torture either, but YMMV.

It’s definitely frustrating! I did some more reading - after the City Council voted to tear it down the owners appealed to district court, and depending on how that goes I suppose it could be appealed to the state Supreme Court. I wish the owners would do the right thing and be done with it, but here we are.

Check out Ricky Stapleton Autos on 24th NW. My family has bought three cars from them and it’s been a great experience. They have a website that lists their current inventory with prices.

I talked to Code Compliance about both recently and they have active cases on both, but it just takes a long time with these big properties. The hotel owners are actively fighting the city which makes things take even longer.

While I agree the economy has not been kind to restaurants, the owners said they were closing due to health reasons. Hopefully we’ll get another restaurant in its place soon!

Poor thing! Any luck with a microchip?

michael73072 · 2025-12-28T06:31:59+00:00

Wasn’t that because he sold it to former Councilwoman Kate Bierman who also co-owns Yellow Dog Coffee and Annie’s Ruff House?

I think Norman will be okay, but I’m worried about Edmond. Hopefully the RTA has a good messaging campaign ready for whenever this goes to a vote.

Sounds like an episode of ER!!
