Discuss Construction Equipment| The storm that moved thru Muldrow, OK | | Hello Everyone,I live in Muldrow, OK and my neighborhood was hit by the storm that moved thru Wednesday night. The local TV station is saying that it was straight line winds in excess of 100 mph. Well, it sounded like a freight train was going right over our house. I think it was a tornado. I'll tell you the whole story.Since it was Wednesday my 13 year old daughter left on the church van to attend a local church around 7 pm. Around 7:30 or 7:45 pm the tornado sirens went off. My first thought was that she wasn't home and it was going to hit. Well, it started to rain and we watched the news on the TV. I had already brought all of our dogs inside. We decided to just stay at home and wait for the church van to bring my daughter home. We didn't want to be gone looking for her if they were to bring her right back home.

| | I've been a dirt Farmer all my life | | I began as a mixed Farmer on a farm where we had chickens, pigs, and cows, as well as growing cash-crops. Then I began to specialise in Beef Cattle. After a time this got tiring, because there was no money in it, so I took up small fruit producing. Raspberries and Strawberries mixed in with beef. I even had a motto
"Better Beef and Bigger Berries," painted on the door of my truck. This lasted for a few years, and then came the Muckets! Muckets began as a drug on the market but slowly began to Boom as they multiplied. We started small with just a Mucket or Two, and slowly increased production until we were growing row upon row. Muckets are an unusual commodity in that they have to be harvested on just the right day and at exactly the right time.Its almost like they have a mind of their own. We kept them weeded and fertilized, and watered and watched them grow bigger and bigger, and then on That particular day everyone got up early and walking carefully in Bare-feet we tiptoed out to the field careful not to make a sound. And there they were glistening with dew in long straight eye-catching rows,There wasn't even a breeze as we watched them shimmering in the early morning sunlight.... | |
