Title: Earthquake in Oklahoma
Post by: bayonetbrant on November 07, 2016, 08:41:58 AM
Steelgrave - y'all ok?

News on the radio reported 5.0 near Cushing.

Apparently it jacked up a major Refinery and pipeline Hub too

Agreed. BTW. Does GrogsHeads have an Earthquake proof bunker for sheltering our precious opinions?

All is good here, fellas. Thanks for the concern. We felt a strong shock last night but it was very brief. Apparently they are still assessing damage up around ground zero, a little town named Cushing. Oklahoma wasn't really built with earthquakes in mind. Outside of OKC and Tulsa, a lot of these towns are really old and the infrastructure leaves much to be desired. Crews are busy checking highways for a hundred miles in every direction.  And just got a newsflash on my IPhone that the refinery in Cushing is reopening, so no apparent damage. So for now....back to worrying about elections and tornados  O0

It's best not to ask questions about the infrastructure here :P

Glad you're okay, Steelie. Thanks for checking in.

Serious damage in Cushing would be bad for us all.

Really glad you're all fine Steel. Except for living in Oklahoma I mean---- just kidding Man. I'm sure Okla. is a great state to live in. Even if you're not in the Witness Protection Program.  ;D

Every other home in Oklahoma is tied into the Witness Protection Program, brother. I mean, why the hell else would anyone live here?   8)

I did K-3 in Oklahoma, then went back for 11-12.  Cuz I'm just that nuts.  And dad was stationed there.

Damn, that's a lot of red-faced, white people. But they certainly all look happy so maybe I'm all wrong about Okies. BTW.... there's big trouble in River City I hear.  :peace:

Oh Yeah. That fringe on the top really got them in the mood. But remember, girls from Oklahoma like to wear their spurs to bed. Gittee-Up Cowboy!   :cowboy:

My bad. Maybe I confused it with 'They Call the Wind Maria'. They both have wind in them, don't they?
