that was Cactus Tx and all 500 residents are accounted for.The town was destroyed however
yes, I believe that’s the name Mr Prairie was saying.
A miracle nobody was killed, area folks said the funnel was very ominous.
There are a number of towns in Oklahoma that were hit over the years and never fully recovered. There is a town southeast of Tulsa called Okay (really!) and it’s like someone painted a bulls eye on the poor thing. It’s pretty much a bunch of trailer homes and a few remaining houses clustered around a railroad track. The trees are gnarled and most of the mess was abandoned to become homes for various wildlife. Really sad. But the people that remain are a determined lot.
There’s a town up near Vinita that suffered a similar fate. It’s at the end of old Highway 69. It’s a ghost town with rubble everywhere.
