The four top floors (47-50) will be about 20 feet tall rather than the approximate 15 feet for floors 7-46. So, after 45 is complete (close), there will be one more at 15 feet, then the four taller ones and finally the crown, which is 60 feet itself.

At 2PM Oklahoma time today I noticed the Thunder banner was completely down off the north side of the tower.

They must be moving it up another floor or two.

Does anyone know if the cam is recording while it shoots? It would be cool to do a time-lapse after all is said and done.

There are still floors in the top of the building where it triangles out (so to say), right? I think that will slow down the process as it is different than what they've been doing. That triangle in your avatar at the top seems to be roughly 120 feet tall so half of it has to be floors.

I'm there now and counted 44 floors.

Did the addition of a restaurant change anything change anything design wise?

Just got back home. The glass for the rotunda is official going up on the north side. They are a good ways up already. Got a good clip of it going up, and them installing one of them.

I don't think so, other than probably having to change the elevator access and how security will handle the general public going to the top two floors.

Love this pic from Wikipedia.. Very metallic looking!

Updated!

Thanks as always, William.

I drove by several times today. Let me tell you this... I don't see anything within our skyline other than this glorious tower. All the other buildings and towers are simply washed away.

This is one of my friend's photo on his Flickr. It's the skyline at nightfall. Awesome picture!

Yup, I watched them take it down between 10:30 and 11:00 this morning.

Just curious but where at Baptist Medical Center were you standing when you took that??

I was on top of the parking garage just to the east of the hospital, at the corner of Independence and Hospital Rd. I want to take another one where the structures are lit up by the sun, rather than the sun being directly overhead.

will someone with computer skill add a highrise (+300ft) on the right (south) of Devon. that would be a complete skyline from this angle.

http://i51.tinypic.com/sd21op.jpg

I did this with Paint. I also added a highrise as if it were built where that plaza is on Broadway between Couch and Robert S Kerr. Sorry for the plainly-ness of them, lol. :/
Where else could a highrise go?

FNC is still my favorite tower in OKC. I just wish it was taller.

Cam is stuck!

Thanks so much for another fantastic video!

I count 44 completed floors and they are working on the 45th.

^Lol, that one's mine! Glad you found it to share. :redface:

Cool pic,sorry I didnt put you as the source!I would edit it but I cant now!

Also from that vid, very cool there will be a little skybridge from Garden Wing to the auditorium.

I assume it will ultimately be enclosed in glass and look really slick.

hmmmm.... I always thought extending the skyline Northward into MidTown would make The skyline look alot better,can you put a 300-400 ft tower in MidTown but I see that pic your using doesnt show that far North!

Wedcam is fixed and Thunder banner is going back up!

FNC is still my favorite tower in OKC. I just wish it was taller.

And hopefully it will be renovated someday.

Wedcam is fixed and Thunder banner is going back up!

Does anyone else think that banner is a huge lost opportunity? I think it would be awesome if it read, "Thunder Up" as we say in OKC. Considering it's like 660 feet "up," that's a LOT of Thunder-Upping.

Two videos done yesterday. Zoomed all the way with my phone to get the most realistic distance and size that I could get.

I think we should ask metro what PR or ad firm they used to come up with "Go Thunder" on the banner when something much better was pretty obvious if you ask me..

And there is already a similar banner on another building. :-O

Maybe there is still time to order a RISE UP THUNDER?

Wow, that morning gleam really makes it look like it's superimposed into the skyline! Too bad The Rapture is this weekend:

Well, at least the dogs and atheist will be able to enjoy the Devon tower!

What time Saturday because I was going to go play a round of golf. If it is going to be early afternoon then I am going to go ahead and spring the extra money for the golf cart. I also am not sure about the claim that 'many evangelical Christians' believe this. I would say you can count the number on two hands.

The problem with this prediction about the world ending Saturday, is that for the rapture to happen, the antichrist has to come into power. I haven't seen some guy with god like powers, demonstrate to the world, why he is Jesus walking the Earth.

That has to happen first. Plus the whole, "no man shall know" thing, too.

What I find sad, is these are preachers and christians, who supposedly follow God, but are twisting the facts the Bible gives us, in order to determine all of this, thus making them false prophets.

However, if I am wrong, at least the sinners will get to see a few more months of the Devon Tower being built. :P

Well damn, my birthday is the 20th. I better enjoy it.

My next door neighbor is a crane operator for the Devon tower construction,and he said his crane is about to jump to 980'ft and he also said that there are rumors of another "monster" tower going to be announced soon!Take it for what it's worth!

That would be great, DMoor. The only reason I can see another monster tower being built is if some major corporation plans to relocate here and needs the space. I do recall hints given by the chamber and the governor that there was a major overseas corporation who indicated OKC as a top contender for their relocation--and that they were pulling out all the stops--but nothing else has been heard on that.

Either way, I'd be happy with another tower half the size of Devon's--it doesn't need to be a monster. I hope the rumor is true, but I've learned not to get my hopes up until something is actually announced.

I'll believe it when I see it.....I can assure you that in the mean time though, my day dreaming just got more interesting.

OMFG... Now you have me all excited. Too bad the world ends in 3 days..

Not to derail the topic, but that is not necessarily true, people often mistake the rapture for the 2nd coming. More likely you are referring to when the tribulation starts, not when the rapture starts. So people will be raptured before the 2nd coming regardless of your Messianic view. Rapture means called up, not Christ's return. The most common view is pre-tribulation, so the antichrist wouldn't come onto the scene until after Christians are raptured up, or the "disappearing/vanishing." Then, it can also depend on your millenial view of the rapture, and whether or not you are pretrib, midtrib, or post trib. Christ's return wouldn't be until the end of the 7 year tribulation, thus the 2nd coming, the be all to end all.

Okay, well still. According to these preachers who mention May 21st, they say the world will end five months later, on October 21st.

Supposedly there is 7 years of peace, before the antichrist goes rogue.

Five months is a far cry from 7 years.

EDIT: For the record, I don't believe these preachers to be anything other than false prophets, as it states in the Bible that no man, not even the son, shall know.

I've actually been joking around about all this hooplah. I do believe in God and all the stuff the Bible says will happen, but some old 80-90+ year old man making these statements is just flat out ignorant. He made these statements before, saying the world would end in 1994. He's just a joke. :P

Here's (http://s131.photobucket.com/albums/p314/Dulahey/Devon%20Tower/?albumview=slideshow) the link to the slideshow of all the pictures I've posted from the same spot. I try to take a shot roughly every month. Only goes back to October, because that's about the time the tower became visible from this angle.

dmoor82, since he is your neighbor, can you please try to get more info from him? We need to know what company, when and where all of this is going to happen. You will have the credit of being the very first person to report the news and make sure you create a thread about it with you as the first poster, so that all the credit go to you. We want OKCTalk to continue being the only place to deliver/leak shocking news first before any others.

That's really cool. Thanks! Amazing how the weather is so different over the course of one month (see February-March).
