So has the demo started on Picher yet? Someone had posted several months ago that it had already begun, but I was skeptical. I'd like to go back up sometime and shoot it some more.

I went up the 2nd week of May. Most of the residential stuff is gone. The low income housing is still standing, though they've removed the mechanicals. The school is still pretty much untouched, other than being boarded up. The U.S. Marshals use the old administrative offices as their base. I didn't see any active demolition while I was there, but some of the destruction looked very recent.

Cool. I was supposed to go up the Piedmont that day. Glad I didn't.

Whew, that tornado when it passed by El Reno, wow... I knew it was an EF-5 instantly. The sound of it and the damage was just incredible. It was nothing I had ever seen before. And just 27 days earlier I personally watched Tuscaloosa get destroyed and I said I had never seen that before. I'm very thankful that tornado stayed out of the civilization of OKC or it would have been very, very bad.

| | | | Came across these evil things while hunting for the ruins of Carter 9. It's bad enough with the ticks, mosquitoes, and snakes, but damn, you could put one of these through your foot.

Damn. My dad has some property in Colleyville, TX and waay back in the woods I found some like that. But I found them the hard way. It literally went through my arm. Not between the bones, but across one of them, kinda like pinching the skin and piercing it.
