Was Anyone in OSA Affected by Last Night's Tornado?

[Fr Mulcahy]

I stayed up last night listening to the weather net on the ham bands. The tornado sounded pretty bad based upon the first-hand descriptions of the storm chasers.

Was anyone affected by it? I hope not, but this is a pretty big group.

I know we have some members in the Claremore area, but I don't remember user names. Power was off everywhere in that area, so if there are any affect, I'm sure they are tied up otherwise.

A rough evening for many.

The Claremore storm has wreaked havoc for a long way. The colored boxes are power outages.

Rogers county emergency has stated all 4 substations feeding Claremore have been severely damaged. Power will be out for “days” if not longer.

Curfew is from 10pm to 5am.

A classmate had minimal damage to her lot. In-laws had zero damage.

I wasn't affected but I was highly offended. I lost a lot of sleep over the wife's concern.

It came within an 1/8 mile of us. Thankfully we only had tree damage and power was out until today. Lots of damage everywhere in town. Last update from our rural power is over 220 power polls damaged, and that doesn't include anything in the city limits.

Have family that were in the KOA at Will Roger's Downs that took a direct hit. They were in the shelter and are safe, but we've been trying to clean up the mess and damage for 2 days. Their camper and both cars will be a total loss.

Lots of lives affected but I can't say enough about the amazing first responders, lineman,community members, and everybody helping Claremore. It's been a great example of good people helping each other out.

We were hit. Just downed trees and out of power still.
