So proud of this city, and the OKC Thunder team! NBA CHAMPS!
Mayor David Holt@davidfholt
Tuesday’s parade route was 2 miles long and packed beyond comprehension for its entire length. Plus, there was an enormous crowd at Scissortail Park. Here are some images that attempt to capture the magnitude, some of which were taken by City of OKC staffer Kevin Oravetz.

Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense.
Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I’m going to “come back stronger”. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what’s hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I’m rambling, but I know this is something I’ll look back on when I’m through this, as something I’m proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y’all seeing the kid ugly cry.
At 25, I’ve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I’ll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special.
Indy, I’m sorry. If any fan base doesn’t deserve this, it’s y’all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. “There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” And that’s exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right.
My journey to get to where I am today wasn’t by happenstance, I’ve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every single experience that’s led me here. I’m grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don’t “have to” go through this, I get to go through this. I’m grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.

@Bitter_Grizzly @AaronRigsbyOSC Also how long it dragged the other tankers connected to each other.. before the final one broke off. A lot of combined force needed to move them connected to each other.

@Bitter_Grizzly @AaronRigsbyOSC Empty I believe is listed as 79,000lb gross. 196,000lb max. Either way, you can see that there was enough resistance that the axle / wheel base snapped off to allow the tankers to come free. Immense power.

Some absolutely mind blowing damage displays near Sheldon, North Dakota. Tossed one train car almost a football field with no clear impact point after tearing 4 cars violently off of the tracks and noticeable ground scaring and chunks of mud plowed through the dirt with several homes completely wiped way. #NDwx

@AaronRigsbyOSC I typically dislike theorizing about the scale of tornadoes, but it’s insane how many (and how quickly) the violent wedges formed after one another. These were upper echelon for sure. You did great man.

@Garrett_O Its crazy too because it had that violent lean and you can visualize the motion just from this video grab of mine
