Mother Nature 3 Bob 0
Posted on December 10th, 2007 by Bob Hall in UncategorizedMother Nature has chosen to strike me three times this year. First was 20 plus inches of water that flooded my basement. Next there was a massive wind event at OktoberFest and now the ice storm that destroyed my garage.
I live in the Maple Ridge subdivision of Tulsa. We have many mature 100 plus year old trees. We have extensive damage. This is my detached garage in the back yard. This is pretty much the standard size trees down in this neighborhood. Power and Internet are fairly rare commodities in Tulsa this evening.
Tulsa is a real mess. I had to go as far East as New Jersey on the Internet to get a generator. Current estimate is 10 days till power is returned. I’m staying with family that miraculously have power and Internet (all buried lines in this subdivision). One of the three Tulsa county commissioners lives down the street so one has to wonder if this may have helped prioritize their restoration this afternoon.
