I am thinking about going to Oklahoma State University next year, and I am curious to know how the weather usually acts. I know Oklahoma is part of "tornado alley". I can remember when that horrible tornado hit Oklahoma in 1999, and again just curious about severe weather there.

Our weather is unpredictable.
It's 66 right now. We have all four seasons. But it doesn't get extremely cold in the winter. Maybe in the teens for a few days. Snow usually melts the next day. Summers are hot and muggy.
They saying around here is if you don't like the weather just stick around a while and it will change.
Tornadoes occur in the spring and sometimes in the fall. I wouldn't worry too much about them. There are always shelters and I've live here 30 years and have gone unscathed.

I spent almost 10 yrs in Lawton at Ft. Sill.. The winters are cold..not a lot of snow..the spring and falls are nice..cool and a welcome relief. Summers are hot..very hot. The thunderstorms are severe but amazing when seen from a distance. I was there in 99 when that tornado hit. It was a terrible thing, but the weather was strange before it hit. In Lawton it got cloudy..then very dark and everything including the incessant wind got quiet. Then all crap broke loose. Oh..it's windy there 24/7.
