Much of Tulsa has been w/out power since Sunday and our already bad drivers and learning about 4-way stops at non-working stoplights.

    It would be really cool if we had a safer and better way to handle a four way intersection with low amounts of traffic. Maybe some sort of circle that doesn’t require anyone even come to a stop.

      We had a really bad thunderstorm blow through the city on Saturday night. We’re talking 100mile per hour winds. (for comparison an F1 tornado is about 86-111MPH winds).

      Unlike a tornado which generally tends to cut a small swath, this was a full blown storm that cause severe wind damage across a very wide area.

      My ETA for power restoral was the 24th but has been moved to tomorrow so my fingers are crossed lol.

    Can’t blame people alone when the system is that bad. Just have one road with priority, saves some signs too.

    Too many signs everywhere are bad anyway. Keep it to a minimum, those that are essential, so people pay attention to those and actually see them in the first place.

    What is going on in Tulsa anyway?
