TULSA - Don't Hate the 918

Kent · 10-03-2012, 07:57 PM

I have a very good friend I call my sister because she is so near and dear to me. She moved from Fort Worth to Tulsa almost 10 years ago and she loves it there with her husband and two sons. I miss her and we've only seen each other twice in the last 10 years. I'm considering a visit to Tulsa.

If I get to Tulsa, I'd like to meet up with some great Tulsa folks: diva, Jagg and anyone else who'd like to get together.

You all have made this Tulsa thread a great thread. Thank you.

It's over for Tulsa for now. We dodged another bullet !!! Our neighbors we not so lucky. But Tulsa is good. Small hail a little wind. No tornado. The storms died down or moved south before they reached us. We only had one hit and it was weak by the time it arrived. To all who posted ,thanks for your concern it means alot !

Tulsa seems to be in the clear. The storms are in the central part of the state, and north of Tulsa.

If the weather in Oklahoma stayed like this all year, I might never leave here.

Bill Maher has mentioned Tulsa a few times in this context.

"I mean, I go to all the red states, and I get a lot of love, because everywhere there are people marbled into the population who are progressive-thinking people, even in Huntsville, Alabama. I was in Tulsa, Oklahoma, two weeks ago. And there’s lots of liberal people, and they are thrilled when someone who thinks like them comes to their town."

thedivahrrrself · 04-16-2013, 07:21 PM

After the tiny earthquake that I apparently slept through this morning, my co worker from California revealed that when a tornado warning is going off, she has started going to her front porch to watch for the storm. My boss responded, "Oh my God, you're a native Oklahoman!"
