Life Oklahoma Outpost Reporting In: Almost 25 years ago, I departed on this trip to Oklahoma that was to last for 5 years. I've been here ever since... Myths about Oklahoma.... They don't have electricity: Fact, installed last month. They don't have indoor plumbing: Fact, next week!! LOL Facts about Oklahoma, It's windy... There is a tree in Kansas to hide behind!! If you like thunderstorms, this is the place to be... If you like tornados... this is really the place to be... Welcome to StormChaser U!! As the cards of life got dealt, some folks got really sexy places to live like Florida, California, Colorado, New York... and somehow I got assigned Oklahoma... LOL Where's Matt Suckstorff?? Oklahoma isn't for everyone, but it's a pretty decent place. It's a small big state with a lot of love. There have been a few transplants from the Institute (John M. remembers), but there are only two of us remaining. I've been here through most of the trials, May 3rd (think really big tornado), April 19th (think Terrorist), and below that, lesser hurdles, but those hurdles are of grand stature. It was July of 1983 when I saw most of you last, I was off on a grand adventure....Expand for more
