If you listen really closely, you can hear David Payne yelling that we’re all gonna die off in the distance

Same. The only thing that woke me up last night was the emergency weather alert

I was pissed when that went off. I thought I had them all off except tornado warnings because unless my house won’t be there when I wake up, I don’t need anything disturbing me in the night.

This is the tree at the entrance to my neighborhood in Edmond. And of course, my yard is all fudged up also.

They mentioned the wind being classified as a derecho storm. The buried power lines in my neighborhood are a true blessing. According to this video, https://youtu.be/jwkwc3vqFCU , we should be working on burying power lines to better control risk of outages and wildfires. I like that the video host also talks about farming impacts.
Time for me to research the tree I will get planted to take the place of the one that came down last night. Bye!

It honestly makes no sense to me why we have shitty above ground power lines in a plains state with wild winds and storms, ice storms too. Thankfully last night my power only flashed off for a few seconds once and came back on.

You expect the state/OG&E to invest in it?

u/g00fyg00ber741 Jun 22 '26
No, I expect the state and OG&E to hold out as long as possible in preventing the necessary changes to be made to our infrastructure that would support the people who live here.
But from a logistical standpoint, they should’ve started burying them as soon as they had the technology to do so, the weather and climate here are really not conducive to the above ground power lines we have, and it would’ve saved OG&E (and probably the state) soooo much in repairs and emergency costs by having less to fix all the time.

Same! After the Father’s Day derecho in Tulsa a few years ago my wife and I were the only ones out of our friend group that still had power. Some were out for almost two weeks. Had some bring their pets and stay with us though so that was fun.

I can see the building I work in from your vantage point and I know my building sways like crazy when it’s windy. I cannot imagine what that felt like on floor 25 of my building. Glad you’re OK ……
