Hey Ken, Got your safe room ready. Looks like if that storm hadn't made a right turn you might have been in trouble. I was thinking about you'all while watching the track of it. For awhile it was headed right at you. Must have been between you and me, we made it turn. I'll take credit. After all, can't let our leader and his pink chickens get hurt.

After I moved the truck inside the shop it turned a bit to the SE. Think it was looking for a Power Stroke. We had one like that last year on 4-22.

We were in Tulsa at 6 PM and did get a slight amount of pea-size hail.

Oh the joys of spring-time in OK.

Ken

Tom, I need to tell you what really happened to the storm that was head toward us. When that said LARGE hail, I decided to move the truck in to the shop. I cranked it up and had my foot in it heading to the back and had the turbo spooled up good. Well it sure as rain sucked that tornado right in to the air box and spewed it out the tail pipe all nice and mellow now.

Can your Chebbie do that???

Ken

Well. I won't go that far fetched but I use my "Chebbie" to move those storms away from me. Just hook on and take off, drag them darn things a few miles away then let-um go. I know its unbelievable but I don't even have to spool the turbo up on the "Chebbie" unless its really a strong one.

Tom, next time you drag one of those storms, go farther north or south before you turn them loose. That one was a little too close. After sucking up that old storm, I had to change the air filter on the truck...it was plugged up from all of the Oklahoma dust.
