5/24/2010 close to Calumet, OK. Pictures were taken by an SLB employee that was in it. An F5 tornado that was 1/2mile wide with winds up to 210mph caused this. Everyone survived,

First photo second post- They were prepaired, They had a metal skid unit tied down with 1 1/4" cables barried 6' in the ground with screw tie downs. One end of the tie downs on the skid unit was pulled out of the ground and lifted one end of the structure to 60 degrees before it was all over with, they thought they were gone'ers.
