RTPROFamily Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) Randy called me earlier and told me he had a blowout on his big Excursion! He asked me to call the auto club. I had to give them a location and Randy said he was on 1-69 south between Atoka and Durant. After 2 hours of getting roadside assistance , tires are huge. They are headed to some town in OK. to get it aligned with the spare tire. He is headed to Katy,TX. to look and possibly buy a new truck. I said I heard about an earthquake in OK. and he said yes they had felt it. So, I guess Randy being in town really SHOOK things up!! I hope he can make the rest of the trip without any problems!

Jeramie Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 He was pretty far south in the state. Not too far from Texas. There is now the possibility that it was a 5.1 and will break the record for the largest earthquake in Oklahoma... Randy knows how to make an impact!

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Holy smokes, it's 350 miles from the Oklahoma line to Katy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTPROFamily Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Yes, It is a long drive but a dealer in Katy ,TX. (Randy meet him at a show he did in there in July) has made Randy an offer for a new truck that is several thousand dollars less than our local dealer. It will be worth the trip if nothing else happens! It is 940 miles from home one way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okiedog Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 How dare he come thru this state without letting the local Okies know!:cowboy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTPROFamily Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 We might have to have some okies pm me their phone numbers because if this happens again he is all out of spare tires!! Randy was born in OKC by the way! So, you would be helping out a fellow OKIE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 So THAT'S why OK got an earthquake. Randy's Excursion hitting the pavement when the tire blew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Good to hear it was only a flat tire. I hope the rest of their trip goes smoothly Darla. He does tend to make the earth move wherever he goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
