Massive front moved through this area about 7pm. I don't know the wind speeds, but it knocked down power lines leaving Perry, Stillwater, Red Rock, Ponca, Stillwater, and Tonkawa without power. It may last a couple of days.
My Gen was full of fuel, but thats only 6 hrs. I have a 8500 watt electric start. That will run out at 3am.
No gas stations are operating. My wife got on something she does, and found out the only fuel is at Blackwell, or Newkirk. They have huge lines of vehicles at each station.
Thank God I built a pump that I can put in a fuel tank, to get fuel from a vehicle. Used an automobile fuel pump, with a 3/8" hose, and a check valve at the suction side, to make it work. Filled three gas cans from the Truck, and have two other vehicles to get fuel from.
I was at the range when it came through. Dead calm one minute, and crazy at the next. The Conex building in the pic went over a 20' berm, and landed 200 yds into a wheat field. The next pic is of the target shed that blew away. Ponca has no water, no electric, nothing.
