For Those Of You That Don't Know

When I turned on to McGurdy Rd, this was the first sign of bad things to come.

Then. It aint supposed to look like this!

Looking at the back of the rig, over the wellhead.

The crown laying over the frac tanks. It's usually 112' in the air.

Top of the rig.

The underside of the rig. 

The mast over the frac tanks.

In this picture is my pump that I run every day.  That is the radiator and it's usually 2' taller than that. And square in shape. Directly behind it is the engine. The engine took a direct downward hit from the derrick mast on the way down.

Looking at the back, from farther away.

This is the second time in less than two years that the wind has turned over one of our rigs. Both times the derrick was full of tubing  that we pulled out of the hole, and a storm came through that night and blew the rig over. All the tubing was secured in the derrick also. 

I spoke with the land owner and he is on the Ponder VFD. He said the National Weather service said winds had gusted to 70mph that night.
