As some of you have seen on the news, Tulsa was hit an f1, and another f2 tornado on Sunday morning.I'd like say that I was fortunate to not be in the path, and suffered no damage except for some lawn furniture and trash cans thrown around. Thanks to those who contacted me, through pm's, and text. One of my best mates was not so fortunate. I spent a long day yesterday helping him clean up after a 75', 80 year old pecan tree put a rather large skylight in his house. It came through the roof 6' from his bed in which he was sleeping. He was miraculously unharmed. The pecan tree also took out an old poplar tree that destroyed his new suv.Attached Image

Curt,

That was part of the reason we took out that 80'x100' Big Mutha Ficus I was telling you about by text yesterday. We get those 90-100 mph "Santa Ana Winds" out here, & that tree coming down on our house would be about the same result as your buddy's home.

Word of warning - Folks need to watch their trees, & get them thinned/laced/trimmed every year or so if they're next to or over the house/structures/car parking, & have the Arborist check the roots & trunk structure too - whether your in tornado alley or not. High winds & earthquakes can happen anywhere!

Doc Hugh & his wife in BA whom you've met, were just a few blocks north of the path where it crossed the 51 by the Hertz & QT Headquarters. They got no alarms!

Sorry to hear about your buddy's SUV. I didn't catch that it was hit too from your texts.

See ya in a few weeks! Thinking 'bout BBQ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)
