Jeramie Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Bad, Bad storms are rolling through right now. We are sitting in Straight line winds reaching 70mph. Lots of rotation and a very dangerous situation. The news is reporting trailer homes destroyed, trees down, and more of the same for over an hour in my area. Very dangerous. In Tulsa at Oktoberfest a main tent was blown away. At the same time the lights went out so the tent was blown over 200 yards, hitting people all the way. Over 40 injured. Its far from over. You all may say a prayer. We just watched my daughters 3' PVC slide blow away like an empty paper sack. The news just reported 74mph winds.... Another line of great magnitude will be here in 15 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 up to 80mph winds now reported. Semi's have been blown over on city streets and highways. Its finally over us short of a little rain. A lot of towns are now without power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeramie Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Im good. Lots of damage everywhere. The winds were bad enough they actually blew in a brick building. I didnt get a good look at my place this morning, it was still dark when I left. The winds actually uprooted trees and blew them through peoples homes. Pretty scary stuff. There are still a handful of people in Tulsa Hospitals. One is in Critical Condition after being hit in the head by a tent pole. From what I hear now no one has died, its mainly just property damage. The highest reported wind was just over 80mph with the most common being 74mph. It made for a very long evening..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
