lots of power outages!!crazy day to say the least.

it has been a crazy day to say the least!about 70 to 80% of tulsa is powerless and for some reason we were blessed to have been able to keep our power on at the shop(thank you god!!)we took a ton of calls and offered temp homes for any fish that needed(corals included) it. so me and jena are sleeping at the shop (no power at home)and having a slumber party with the fish.were you guys not hit as hard ?it is a three hour wait for mazzios pizza by our shop???like i said a lot of power is out.

I feel your Pain! 4 hurricanes within 50 miles of us here two years ago....many days without power....no fun...

Taught me to get Generators......best piece of mind...but no hurricanes in two years here...so who knows...

I know the feeling of sleeping in the shop....nice to be on the hospital grid!

Three phase power is a wonderful thing!

Hope your power holds!

Good luck....keep those tanks flowing!

Glad you all can help out some fish and corals. We are awaiting our second wave here and fortunantly still have power. Best wishes for all, lots of cleanup once this passes.

Glad to hear that you guys have power, I couldn't think of a better place to go if there was no heat . LFS's are always warm and humid in the winter. I was planning on taking a trip up to your shop tomorrow and visiting the aquarium while I was up there, but I'm rethinking those plans at the moment. Hopefully next Wednesday and Thursday everything will be melted and I'll be able to take a road trip. Hope they get all you power restored soon!

Stoped by the shop today to check on ya'll. Saw there was power and breathed a sigh of relief.


Tulsa looked like a war zone. Crazy stuff.
