Much of Tulsa has been w/out power since Sunday and our already bad drivers and learning about 4-way stops at non-working stoplights.

    Why is so much of Tulsa without power for 3 days and counting?

      We had a really bad thunderstorm blow through the city on Saturday night. We’re talking 100mile per hour winds. (for comparison an F1 tornado is about 86-111MPH winds).

      Unlike a tornado which generally tends to cut a small swath, this was a full blown storm that cause severe wind damage across a very wide area.

      My ETA for power restoral was the 24th but has been moved to tomorrow so my fingers are crossed lol.

      This is normal in highly developed countries. It’s a sign of a healthy system
