High Tech Tronics, a electronic communications systems that designs and installs more than $7 million worth in electronic communications every year, was right in the path of the tornado that hit Oklahoma and devastated an entire suburb on Monday, May 20th. Based inOklahoma, High Tech Tronics is a PSA operator and integrator. Offering systems that include and wireless availability features for security, they are a well-beloved provider in their locations.
An employee of the company lost his home, but no lives were lost in the devastation the tornado left behind. Four employees of the headquartered company lived centrally in the tornado’s location, but only the one employee lost everything. CEO Mark Bradley told the story of the employee’s bravery with emotion, to listeners in the media. The very man that lost his entire home was instrumental in saving a child’s life.
“We have four employees who live in Moore, but one gentleman lost everything,”
Bradley said. He also went on to describe the bravery of the employee:
“This employee put his company hard hat on his young child, [put the child in his car and] outran the tornado in his car. When the employee returned to his house, it was flattened, and his High Tech Tronics company truck was sitting in what was formerly his living room.”
A few other employees of the company had relatives who lost their homes; but the brave gentleman who saved a child he didn’t even know was the only employee to suffer the loss of his home and vehicles.
The High Tech Tronics company implements for the Moore hospital, which was almost flattened post-tornado. High Tech Tronics was also responsible for some security implementations in the schools also devastated by the tornado. The CEO reported that the Internet was the first thing to go down when the tornado hit, which their systems significantly rely on. The systems that were actually installed by the provider within hospitals and schools in the locations were dependent on the Web, centrally controlled within the administration’s building. The only significant variance was that each system was able to be controlled independently, an important factor if the entire system was compromised.
Over the rest of the week, the company CEO has told listeners that he’s far more concerned about tornado shelter than . He said his company may actually be considering the importance of building storm shelters for children, which to him matter as much as a school security system. It might be implemented in his OK office right away. We don’t blame him.
