‘The US state of Oklahoma is famous for its tornadoes but that’s not been the hot topic of discussion lately. Something that was rare until only last year is now keeping people awake at nights. Many residents are concerned that the oil drilling method known as fracking is leading to a rise in earthquakes in the state. ‘

On May 31, 2013, storm chasers Dave Demko and Heidi Farrar documented a large multi-vortex tornado southwest of El Reno, Oklahoma. The tornado eventually morphed into a violent wedge as it made a hard turn toward the northeast, where it impacted areas along Interstate 40 between El Reno and Yukon, and later continued causing damage as it moved into the southern Oklahoma City metro area.

Oklahoma City Tornado

 

OKLAHOMA CITY — A violent storm formed over the prairie west of Oklahoma City late Friday afternoon, dropped a tornado in a suburb and rolled toward the state capital as viewers brave enough to remain above ground watched on statewide television.

Storm chasers with cameras in their car transmitted video showing a number of funnels dropping from the supercell thunderstorm as it passed south of El Reno and toward downtown Oklahoma City. Police urged motorists to leave the crosstown Interstate 40 and seek a safe place.

MOORE, Okla. – As cleanup crews start clearing debris from the hardest hit areas of Moore, many people from all over the area are finding pictures scattered and damaged by the storm.

Melisa Rose is one of them.

She lived through the May 3, 1999 tornado as well as the one on May 8, 2003.

“You have no words for it, she said “You just sit and watch and hope that it’s not going to hit you.”

On Monday, for the third time, she stepped outside to see a city once again left in ruins.

Since she lives close by she headed to the Warren Theater to see what she could do to help.

A massive tornado with a rating of EF-5 touched down in Moore, Okla., causing devastating damage Monday afternoon.

As recovery efforts were underway Tuesday, Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin and emergency officials held a press conference Tuesday afternoon.

"We don't have any firm numbers on the number of deaths that we have experienced," Fallin said regarding Moore, Okla. Bodies had been taken to local funeral homes and the state medical examiner's office, making it difficult to establish an accurate number. As of the time of the conference, 237 injuries were known.

Trail Of Destruction In Moore

 

 

MOORE, Okla., May 21 (Reuters) - Emergency workers searched for survivors in the rubble of homes, schools and a hospital in an Oklahoma town hit by a powerful tornado, but officials on Tuesday sharply lowered the number of deaths caused by the storm.

The Oklahoma state medical examiner's office said 24 bodies had been recovered from the wreckage of Monday's storm, down from the 51 they had reported earlier. The earlier number likely reflected some double-counted deaths, said Amy Elliott, chief administrative officer for the medical examiner.
