Just some pictures.  Clouds before the rain started falling.

Power poles that was blown over by straight line winds ( 95 foot poles for over four miles of them).

Cars trapped when the power poles in front and behind them, the poles didn't hit any of the cars, lucky people.

Dale, what stretch of rod was that with the power poles down?  Jeepers --- that would scare the britches right off you if you were in any of the vehicles. wouldn't it?

This the power line that runs through the east side of Wal Mart parking lot in Independence and along Peter Pan Road to the north.  The storm came through when we eating over Cherryvale and when we tried to get home they wouldn't let us through.  So we had to drive around the end of the power line and in by the Elk City Lake.  This happened in August of 2006.

This same thing happened in February when we had that strange, "too early in the season" tornado in Edmond, OK.  People  were driving down the street and the power poles fell and trapped 6 or 7 cars.  Miraculously, no one was injured by the live wires or the falling poles, but it was a very scary situation until they could be rescued.
