...Shelter time...

...the late evening/night of the 17th our weather became scary with 

hurricane force winds (up to 100 mph)...the sirens in the Sapulpa/Jenk areas were

going off, so Ali and the Junies took cover in their shelter...Linz and Brea stuck it out...

...Our electric at home went off at 2:14 am...we were w/out electric until

the 21st at 5:30 pm...the girls were fortunate not to lose power...

...We also lost power at Subway until Sunday at 3 pm and Pizza Hut didn't 

regain power until some time Thursday...

...I never in my life have experienced straight winds as harsh as that night...
