    So my best guess as to the reason why the McDonald's signs are missing panels is because of high winds/tornados. And the center of the universes echo is actually due to the buildings surrounding the circle the sound just bounces off them in the right way to give the trippy effect that yall were experiencing 😊

    In answer to your question about why all the McDonald’s arches are missing panels, it is because Oklahoma is mostly tornado alley. We get regular winds of 30+ miles per hour and only consider it a windy day if it gusts over 50 mph. If it is not a tornado doing damage, it’s the straight line winds and micro bursts taking out signs. It is also why we don’t have very many freestanding, tall trees. Clay soil and wind just aren’t great for growing tall, strong trees.

  • @zebraloverbridget

    I used to live on a mountain where 50+ gusts were standard throughout the winter and none of the signs there were broken. 🤔 80mph gusts during winter storms weren't abnormal either (you'd still stay indoors when possible but things didn't shut down from the wind)

    @@zebraloverbridgetYeah, I live in a beachy area with frequent high winds and our trees even grow kinda sideways due to the wind. The only tall trees here are palm trees. And our McDs signs aren’t broken like that. _But_ I can’t think of any signs here that are that tall. There must be a city ordinance that doesn’t allow them to build their signs that tall and I wonder if it’s due to either high winds or hurricane risk. It just makes me wonder if Tulsa’s McDs signs would stay intact if they were shorter.

    There’s a mini version on some college campuses. 😂 Had a lot of fun with those at night, with no loud noises, a circular area in the path, surrounded by maybe 3’ walls. The stone echoes the sound back into the circle, rather than having it continue to travel. Also works well for small performances without having too much sound equipment, and those outside the circle don’t have very much sound to deal with. Actually, I think it caused microphone feedback at one point, lol. It’s like the mini version of an amphitheater.

    You need to come back to the Tulsa Zoo on a warmer day! They have an indoor Komodo exhibit in the lost kingdom that’ll knock your socks off. You’re 5ft or less from the dragon if it’s on the heat rock

    23:41 As an Okie, I live in the Tulsa area, I am glad you had a good time. We have a lot of high winds which caused a lot of damage to signage. I wish I could have met you while you were here. I have been a viewer of your videos for years. I am 69 yrs old and have always been afraid of snakes. You have changed that for me. I am currently caring for a Western hognose in my home. His name is Hedgehog and a very good eater. I never thought I would ever keep frozen mice in my freezer, but here I am! Love you guys.❤

    I live in Tulsa, and if you ever come back and need time to kill, I would love to see your reaction to The Gathering Place. It's a large playground area that spans 66 acers (will be 100 after plan c) that supports all ages. It's chocked full of natural native fauna and they try to put on small exhibits from time to time. The last one was a Native art exhibit from each 5 large tribes. The one they had recently was a sports exhibit. It's a fun place if you need time to kill and want to just have fun.

A friend of mine took me to that bone museum a while back and yes it's so cool, I bought a set of shark jaws.

    16:58 - HECK YEAH TUATARA LOVE can't see it on the video, but their teeth are basically a part of their skull, not just inci(dental)ly attached like ours. It's funny because in NZ we have a lot of cold weather species in the Wellington Zoo, so in 2008 when it snowed there, they got a bunch of amazing shots of the animals being way more active than usual. -6°C is probably a bit chilly even for them though I wonder if you two would like Mongolian barbeque - the way that's done is not allergy friendly tho. You choose what meats and veggies (and sauces) you want from the buffet lineup, then the massive grill is used, and it's like a cast iron pan where everything is cooked on it and it's seasoned from all the cooking.

    Oh I can’t wait for your next Oklahoma adventure video. I would recommend you going back to the OKC Zoo they have Komodo dragons, the Tulsa aquarium, and try out a place called Martin Nature Park it’s not big and fancy but very pretty. Also I would love to see a Wilbanks video. There is also a brewery called Rough tail brewery. Also Okie.

TY Emily and Ed for sharing your adventures with us! Also, the "we're above Texas it should be warmer in here" truly resonates with me. Oklahoma weather has a wacky mind of its own.

    The Atlanta Zoo in Georgia has a Komodo dragon and everyone is quite nice. You might be able to make a video on the komodo and their awesome reptile house! You could make use of your time there and explore other cool places like the Atlanta Aquarium and the botanical garden which are both absolutely stunning. There's also the world of Coca cola which is fun and has some pretty interesting stuff in it including a tasting room. There's also quite a few museums around that you could look at. I personally prefer the Fernbank Museum as it has an amazing nature walk and just various different things including an exhibit they change out often. They had a t-rex family tree exhibit for a little while and it was awesome. And if you want a creepy honorable mention check out doll head trail. It's exactly as it sounds.

    As a Oklahoman/Okie who lives near Tulsa, it’s cool to see you visit familiar places. I got to the Tulsa Zoo a lot, and I can 100% say, even when traveling, it’s still my favorite zoo. It could be a bit bias but it’s buildings and animal variety makes it stand out. Even comparing it to zoos like the Denver zoo, I still think the Tulsa Zoo is better.

    The coldest weather I’d ever experienced was back in 2018 in Oklahoma. It was winter time and I was at Fort Sill during Basic Training for the Army, the temperature dropped to like 10 degrees with wind chill and me and the rest of my group huddled in the laundry room with the dryers on and the dryer doors open while wearing triple layers of clothing just to stay warm and that winter the base got completely snowed in and even hit with an ice storm
