Widowmakers: Hazardous Habitat

Rodgers and Hammerstein weren’t wrong when they said this is “where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain.”

We Okies see more than our fair share of extreme weather – ice, wind, and tornadoes affect more than just the people and wildlife. From the piney woods of the southeast to the oaken Cross Timbers of the central region to the native junipers adorning Black Mesa, Oklahoma is home to over 12 million acres of forested habitat.

So, what happens when we mix all those trees with severe weather? Widowmakers.
