[AZ-Observing] Bad Wknd for Okie-Tex

Off the Obsession Yahoo Group:

>Apparently there was a 75 mile per hour gale that hit
Okie-Tex this morning (Fri) damaging tents and campers.

>I haven't seen any carnage from our group.  I did see a large dob (25"+) with 
>a shredded shroud, but it seemed OK otherwise.  A few SCTs blew over, don't 
>know the details.  My 15" Obsession fared quite well.

Many tents were destroyed, the bunkhouses were packed as a result!  Several 
others left early, as their tents were uninhabitable.  I was able to patch 
mine together with bungees, duct tape and a blue tarp - but it goes into the 
dumpster Sunday morning.

The folks here are an amazing group, helping each other out and maintaining 
high spirits.  It cleared out a bit after 5 AM this morning, so I got a little 
observing in.  Tonight promises to be pretty clear - of course, we face the 
long drive home tomorrow!

Several people have left already; but I figure it just improves the odds in 
the Great Okie-Tex Giveaway for those of us who stuck it out.
