Drill rig hit by tornado

[Strychnine]

Cactus 117

This happened yesterday, 5/24/2011, close to Calumet, OK-
Pictures were taken by an SLB employee who was there -
An F5 tornado that was 1/2mile wide with winds up to 210mph caused this-
Everyone survived and no, there is no oil spill (or natural gas)-

What's the cost on something like that? I'm sure the rig is a total loss.

Looks like a couple of decent trucks got smushed up pretty good too.

WOW! glad everyone is okay.

Day rate on a land rig is ~$30,000 right now.
Complete rig cost is probably $15MM - 20MM depending on spec and options.

Overnight .50 a gallon increase at the pump that lasts for eight months...

Im reading where they classified this as an EF3 with winds around 150 mph. But also says that it could change after more survey's
