It didn't help that, antecedent to this storm entering Tulsa, the temperature was STILL 80 degrees F. at MIDNIGHT; and the dewpoint HAD to be at least 71, as well! That meant juicy, juicy (read: VERY UNSTABLE) air for this thing to feed on; and sure enough: 100 mph winds blasted basically ALL of Tulsa, leaving some 205,000 customers without power!
My power went out even BEFORE the winds in my immediate area really went crazy! I believe this indicates that the destructive winds had already knocked down transmission lines that were somewhere west of where I live. So for many Tulsans, their power was knocked out BEFORE the worst of the winds hit their particular areas.
One thing I'm afraid could happen someday is for a derecho to enter West Tulsa with 100 mph winds; and then those winds would strengthen further to 120 mph by the time it reaches Downtown and Midtown; and then 140 mph by the time it reaches Tulsa International Airport.
That's one of the scariest things with derechos: once you hear a distant rumble of thunder, you have only MINUTES to get back into your home before the storm hits because those derechos move FAST (50 or more mph forward speeds)!
@@jeffzebert4982 Yeah, I was in this storm at Tulsa. As soon as the rain started, 5 minutes later tornado sirens went blaring, the rain got more intense within MINUTES, and the winds were crazy. I know I'm replying late lol
Here's one suggestion on how to keep weather cameras empowered in the face of power outages: have RTGs * be their power source. RTG's can last for literally DECADES! * Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators.

The airport reached 77 mph winds
God bless pray for everyone
Those winds were 100 mph
I was outside when it hit

Our power got back on at Monday, June 19
Luckily our power still works and we had a tornado shelter
