How the February 10 tornados in Edmond tied up the schedule.

I had an exciting afternoon and evening planned; a quick final walk-through with a client, then a quick jaunt to Stewart Title for the closing, and then off to McNellie’s for the ULI Real Estate Roulette. As we were wrapping up the walk-through, suddenly it thunders, the storm warning sirens rev up, and my mobile rings, all simultaneously. On the phone was my wife letting me know I might want to consider coming home (just across the street from my walk-through…yes, I live among clients and love it), to get into the storm shelter. ![]() It’s really nerve-racking to see this hovering over your development project. One power outage, 3 rounds of storms, and multiple trips in and out of the storm shelter later, I head out to check my projects in the neighborhood, then a mile south down Penn to my commercial project, the Main Street Business District. This was what I found…
![]() The officer blockading Penn was cool enough to let me through. Surprisingly, we had minimal damage despite numerous large power line poles snapped in two around us.
![]() What an afternoon and evening it was. We were fortunate that power was restored by a little after 6, and aside from not being able to attend the scheduled closing, I was most disappointed by not getting to be a part of the ULI Real Estate Roulette. So yes, I had an exciting afternoon and evening planned, and while it was still exciting, it was not as planned. Perhaps the next one will be scheduled on a less eventful night by my new friends at the ULI. (Sorry, guys, I had to check my projects and I couldn’t leave my girls for the evening without power.)

A place to book-end to the day, and hopefully for an occasional steamy encounter.
