Reminds me of a time I was getting ready to drive back to Norman from Tulsa and saw that there was a sh*tload of bad storms crossing the state. I flipped a coin to decide if I was gonna take the Turner or 75. 75 won, and I never saw so much as a drop. I did however, see the giant death storms wailing up and down the turnpike. :D

With antifreeze in its oil?
Here's my theory of why tornados hit mobile home parks - the spinning of the vortex creates a negative charge and mobile homes are made out of aluminum, which has a valence of +3, so to reach equillibirum, the negatives of the tornado are drawn to the +3s of all of those mobile homes!
Ha! I better publish this before Al G. takes credit!

By looking at the radar, depending on how up to date the one I'm lookin at is. Seems like we're about to get hammered in the Tulsa/B.A. area...and know OLEVET I'm not talkin about the beer

Yeah, especially considering that by the time the storms reach us, the contours of the land usually weaken them. Which is why Tulsa rarely has twisters.

What the hellcrapz am I even talking about? I don't know.
Oh no, just wait until I point out that it's actually the science of hills & the bend of the river making Tulsa a naturally protected location, thus proving once again that Tulsa>OKC. ;)

Well I'm out east of Tulsa and the wind hits hella hard out here. Kinda sucks down in the valley or something. It's crazy how much more windy it seems at my house sometimes than it is in Tulsa.
PANSY!!!!
Not so much. Just didn't want to have to reboot the computer if the power went out. I dropped myself down to lazy mode the second the power flickered. Plus I needed to get to bed anyways. :D
I thought it was supposed to snow like hell all day? :mad:
I thought it was supposed to snow like hell all day? :mad:
That was the word. We had about 15 minutes of "okay" snow and sleet at my office in west Tulsa today, but then hardly anything after that. We'll see if anything else happens tonight I guess. Props to the weather guys for building up another non-bad-azz-winter-storm 2008

I despise the BA Expwy. I used to take it to work every morning but now I live close enough to 244 that I can just take that. There may have been one traffic jam on that highway during rush hours in the 6 years I've been using it.
Took the BA this morning because we had to drop the wife's car off at Chris Nikel and I don't think I ever got over 50mph.

My buddy is a mechanic at Nikel's, he's probably workin on your ride:)
The B.A. expwy. does suck in the a.m. rush hour. I don't take the B.A. in the morning, it's more convenient for me to take the Creek Turnpike. or even the city streets (which suck in the rush hour if you miss what I call the 5 minute window). But the Creek Tpike. is pretty smooth sailing.

And by "Norman's weather shield", we mean "Moore".
And by "Tulsa's naturally protected", you of course mean, "Catoosa's close to Tulsa."
Yeah, Catoosa is close to Tulsa. It's over in the next county. And it got demolished by a freak tornado over a decade ago. The key words are "freak" and "decade".
Tulsa's last tornado was in 1975. The Catoosa twister was a one-in-a-million shot. Stats and simple geography bear my point out. I'd ask what backs up your point, but I don't think you had one.
Run along now.

3/3/2008, 09:39 PM
Bri, I'm not sure why you're being like that.
I'm FROM the Tulsa area. I agree with you that Tulsa seldom has a tornado. We used to joke that Catoosa got all the hits (not only the big one that tore up that golf course on the bluff in Catoosa a decade ago, Spunky Creek or whatever). There's a mobile home park on County Line (193rd) and Admiral, I believe, that got nailed twice a season.
Why reply like that to someone on here? I'll never understand.

Catoosa is a rock's throw from Tulsa, we all know that. Not that big a difference. And I believe that specific tornado actually formed in Tulsa county (in north Tulsa) if we want to be technical. Furthermore, if hills tend to block tornadoes then why would one hit Catoosa as we all know Catoosa has a fair amount of larger hills surrounding it. And while we're being technical there's been more tornadoes since the date you mention. Just google it. They may not have all been huge world beaters like the ones Moore and the OKC area have seen, but there are some on record. Just sayin :D
Here's one I didn't know about til I sifted through the google world

And more recently there was one (a small one, F1 at the Tulsa airport) in 2006. Here's a vid for it, pretty cool to see the airplane spin around:
