Yessir, there was ZERO warning in Tulsa. When the sirens went off in Broken Arrow, it was past us. The weather people said they developed so fast that it caught them off their feet. It was just a hell of a night as I couldn't get ahold of my people to see if they were good.....

Tornadoes are scary stuff when they get close to yourself, friends and loved ones. When we had our monster people were just wondering around like bloody zombies. Others were screaming and in full panic mode looking for loved ones. And it was like that farther than the eye could see. Downed power lines everywhere, thankfully all power was dead from the damage being so massive. It feels weird when you are walking in 4" of water and are stepping over huge power lines. The smell of natural gas was everywhere and I remember expecting a massive explosion at any time. Weird times and it still seems surreal and is something I hope I never have to experience again. I am glad you and yours are fine David.

Yessir, it's something to experience. I was in Houston for Hurricane Ike in 2008. The mass migration trying to get north to Dallas was a sight to see. People couldn't get gas and were strung all along the Interstate. I didn't burn my gas sitting still on the highway. When I caught up with the back of the pack, I would pull over, load up the 10mm and grab a nap. I had a room reserved in Dallas, so when I got there, I got there.....

You know, there are places you can live in this country where there are none (ok, significantly less) natural disaster threats, right?

Glad to hear you're ok brother!

Ahhhh yes, old JJ. Cale. One of the pioneers of the "Tulsa Sound". Always stayed out of the limelight, but wrote some killer songs. Just ask Eric Clapton.......

Love JJ Cale. Saw him in Tulsa, early 70's at a roadhouse that was under a freeway. Had such a great time, I saw a UFO hovering over Will Rogers Turnpike on the way home. It was farm trout!
