Bartlesville Radio: The area’s best source for news, weather and sports!

Ed Calianese of the Tulsa National Weather Service was at the Osage County Fairgrounds in Pawhuska Thursday evening discussing the best possible ways to stay safe from damaging storms.

Calianese adds it is important for the public to stay weather aware and pay heed to any warning that the county might be under.

Last year, there were 10 tornado related deaths in the United States. As of Thursday, that number has already reached 25. Calianese says there is no way to tell if this trend will continue or not. Calianese added a great tool to stay weather aware is weather.gov/tulsa.
