Tulsa’s finally paying the price for those big beautiful tree-lined streets.
Late Saturday night, Tom Hanks followed through on his threat to blow through Tulsa, using his dark magic to materialize into a harrowing squall line that packed a stronger punch than the storm from Cast Away, obliterating the city with powerful, sustained ultra-magnum gale-force winds.
The storm brought some death and systematic destruction to Oklahoma’s Second City, uprooting Tulsa’s many old pretty trees and turning them into missile-like projectiles, all while tossing around the city’s power lines like a bowl of hot linguini from Ti Amo, leaving hundreds of thousands of the city’s residents without power and no place to complain about it but Twitter.
Usually, whenever a severe weather event twists and turns its way through Oklahoma, Governor Sttit likes to make an appearance a day or two later. While wearing his cool custom-monogrammed blue REI vest, he’ll tour the damage and give a little press conference, letting the news cameras know that he’s on the scene and on the story, doing fancy Governor stuff for everyone to see.
Well, that is unless he has to fly out for a little workcation in Paris. In that case, the Oklahoma people can wait!
