That must have been the Arbuckle Wilderness. As far as biggest attraction,hmmm…that depends on whether it means visitors, interest, or size – I don’t think this to be true on the first two. That would probably go to the OKC National Memorial or Cowboy Hall of Fame.

But what do I know? I don’t get out much and I have never been to the Arbuckle Zoo.

If you like go-karts, you should try the covered wagons! LOL.

Th go-karts were fun.

Wait a second! I live at 67th and Utica! It’s headed straight for me!

I’m a born-and-raised Cajun, so the whole freaked me out EVERY SINGLE TIME! We spent a couple of nights in our middle closet. Me, my wife, our oldest daughter (our only daughter at the time), AND the dog.

Good times.

Yeah, that part of Oklahoma was in a tornado warning for a while and a very large area! I would have had my family in our storm shelter with me on the roof and a video camera. I am glad there were no injuries.

The technology is amazing though last night in our area the weather changed so quick that the technology missed it. For the most part, we stay very safe and informed…down to the street and time of arrival.

Back on May 3rd, 1999, I was on a search and rescue team and we were mobilized in Moore and Bridge Creek. It was the craziest thing I ever saw and could write countless posts about what I observed. Though the only safe place from that one was underground.

No tornado (at least where we live), but lots of rain REAL quick. Rivers in the yard.

I’m constantly impressed, though, by the television coverage of heavy weather. Their technology is amazing. Coupled with on-the-ground spotters I feel relatively safe in the midst of it all. A few years ago I turned the TV on in the afternoon to check for inbound thunderstorms and caught live shots of a tornado going through southern Oklahoma City.

Small world, bro.
