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.

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.
