TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. --  During significant weather events or other emergencies, Tinker's status will be posted on Tinker's Twitter feed and Facebook page.

Links to Tinker's Facebook and Twitter pages can be found on the weather status page at www.tinker.af.mil. To subscribe to Tinker's Twitter feed you must have an active Twitter account. To subscribe, go to: http://twitter.com/Team_Tinker and click on the "sign up" button on the top left of the page. Once you have an account, choose to "follow" @Team_Tinker. To follow via SMS text messaging, send a "follow@Team_Tinker" text to Twitter from your phone. You will begin receiving short texts from Tinker on the operating status or anytime something is posted. Those who do not have an unlimited texting plan may want to turn off notifications until there is a threat of significant weather to avoid being charged for other non-status-related texts.

The base will also maintain the Straight Talk line (734-1900) and is working to fix the issues that caused problems for callers attempting to hear the operating status during previous winter storms.
