Dancce's tractor dealership is just east of Stoud, OK, where a tornado blew through last night, heading up I44. I hope everyone's OK.

Hey Bill,
All are OK here. But I can assure you that everyone in this area were in their respective "fraidy-holes" last night.
If the tornado had been on the ground when it came through,the business would have taken a direct hit. As it was it just blew out our Krone sign panels (2'X6') and kind of shredded our US flag. Some tree-tops came down also.
This "alleyway" from Oklahoma City to Tulsa via the Turner Turnpike and old Highway 66 is a recurring path for twisters, but more than once they have lifted back to the sky just west of us.
The highest elevation in Creek County is just west of Depew, in fact it is the site of the Oaklake Trails nudist resort. I wonder if that has something to do with it! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Seriously,though, I appreciate your concern.

Hey Dan,
Glad to hear you dodged the twister!! But you know it could have been a good way to get rid of some of that slow moving used stock!!

I happy to hear that you came through relatively unscathed. I'll bet there's a lot of cleaning up to do, though.
My daughter in Tulsa is getting ready to have my third grandchild any day /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif, and while we will probably be in a hurry going up, I hope to stop by Depew on the way back and say hello.

Bill,
Yes, please do stop by. I'll look forward to seeing you.
Hey Woodbeef,
Yep, that would be one way to move some inventory---I'm not sure it would be my choice of the way to do it ,though. Too much colateral damage to contend with.
