Tulsa Tough, "The Storms"

We went to Tulsa for the Tulsa Tough Crits and got a bit of a surprise from the weather. Friday night was good, nice and warm, just my kind of weather.
Saturday we woke up and we looked out to the North and it looked pretty iffy. So we went to the race course a few blocks away to sign up Jonas for the kids races. About then we saw the really dark clouds and lightning coming in and decided to run for the hotel.
Glad we did, gale force winds, hail, and heavy rain rolled in just as we got back. After an hour it was over and the racing went on. Sunday....this was the big one, storm that is. As we were getting ready to go to the race course it looked on the radar like a huge storm was about to hit, what to do.....we ended up hanging out at the hotel. Good thing as the storm was bad and there was so much damage that some of the races
cancelled. Check out the pictures. Jonas and Eli checking out the port-a-pottie. Bummer if you were in there! Bigger bummer was if you owned the car under the tree. That was right next to Sundays course. You know the race course is muddy when the promoter gets the Fire Department to come out and hose off the course.
