State Record Ruined

Okla managed to go 190 days without a tornado . . . longest in recorded history for the state. Winning streak ruined yesterday, thanks a lot mother nature. I blame Texas.

It sounds like Mother Nature has just been trying to scrub Oklahoma clean all these years and she took short break, but now back to spring cleaning!

I suppose even God took a break on the 7th day.

Boy, last night was a nice warm-up for storm season. Got pretty sporty for a little while.

We had 60-70mph winds as the squall line moved through South Tulsa last night around 10:15p or so, but it only lasted about 10 minutes. Lost a few dead limbs out of the oak trees/black walnut. No biggie.

That blows.

No major damage here. The sporty part was the tornado warning, gusts, sideways rain, and giant lightning bolts while surrounded by high pressure natural gas in a processing plant. The first one or two of the season always get me a little jacked up. Beyond that, of course, it becomes mundane. Crappy part is that after keeping the plant running through the onslaught, some downstream stations got shutdown later after I'd gone home, which caused a shutdown. Had to go back out to the plant for a few more hours and finally got back home about 2:30am. Love them 18 hour days.

We somehow got lucky in Stillwater. We were between two strong areas. Got a nice lighting show and heavy showers around 9 PM last night and then again this morning. Didn't have any of the real "sporty" stuff, though.

Yeah, that's about how it worked out in BA. Slipped through a smaller section in the line. Lot's of heavier activity down the I-40 corridor and up US75 towards Bartlesville/Oologah.
