More Oklahoma
I totally forgot to finish my thoughts on Oklahoma before posting that. There is more to Oklahoma hating me besides the terrible drivers. Oklahoma City freeways are a mess. There are way too many of them for its size and they all change name and direction constantly. You can head due north on a freeway that says West because eventually, if you stay on it long enough it will veer West somewhere near Canada.
Before I left Tulsa for the drive to Oklahoma City, a customer told me about his friend who had been caught in a tornado on that road and had his legs broken when it repeatedly bashed him into a freeway underpass. His truck came out of it the size and shape of a fridge. I kept my eye out for any shelter or extra deep ditch I could hide in if I saw a twister.
The tornado siren went off just as I was driving through the downtown. The driver in front of me jumped out of his car and ran into a building and the rain was whipping down the street like a wind-tunnel. The siren turned off before I could decide where to run. I pulled into my hotel on 20th and Meridian just as the announcer on the radio said the small tornado had touched down on 63rd and Meridian.
