the national weather center in norman oklahoma! 






if you see these rigs, you should have already taken cover!!


they rented 10 of these. and the car rental place would only take 8 back. so they are permanent vehicles for storm chasing! too much large hail damage to return them!










even storm chaser vehicles need a washing sometimes!


a study and observation room. was pretty cool. she talked about watching a storm and tornado the eve of finals!

would be a cool place for an education! 

it is a five story building, but truly a nine story building. because of the miles of wires and cables between each floor!

this was an engineering mistake that became a grading legend, the instructor dropped the pile of exams from the top and whatever floor it fell on was your grade! (first floor was an A)  also, there was supposed to be a skylight above it, ...and it didn't quite work out that way!


old newspapers!







in the movie twister, the university of oklahoma wouldn't let the film makers use the school name because the movie wasn't all factual...so muskogee state was made up to became chosen as the school in the film.

huge sphere in the middle of the room....they like to play with it like turn it into a marine scene or disco ball. 


also you can see the whole world lit up at night or day

norman, okc.
