Rock Cafe, The #route66 Restaurant That Survived a Tornado


Have lunch at the Oklahoma restaurant that endured disastrous weather and provided inspiration for a movie.

Oklahoma, according to Wikipedia, lies between a semi-arid zone, a humid continental one and a humid subtropical one. This means weather can get weird in a hurry. The biggest weather problem people have there is with tornadoes.

The staff of the Rock Cafe, on Route 66 in Stroud, OK, know about tornadoes. They survived one that nearly wiped the town out.
