Wow.
bttt
Surreal.
Note what appears to be a storm shelter in the first 10 seconds missing its hatch over the oval opening.
Overengineering hardware & concrete anchors is underrated.
I hope that they made it to the shelter and, despite the hatch failure, survived.
How long until the clown in chief admonishes us to drive EVs to prevent these “never before seen” tornadoes.....and, GO!
And I think I have problems! Wow!
How devastating for those folks!
One of the few interior walls that are still standing had a picture hanging on it. It looked perfectly level.
wicked weather this year in oklahoma
I was wondering what that was.
Hope it did it’s job!
Wow!!! What a disaster...
Scary stuff

Devastating. I feel so bad for all of these people.
Thanks for posting. Watching the news last night we heard it hit Barnsdall but didn’t know exactly where it was from us. It appears to be on a lake and beautiful views. I hope everyone survived and can rebuild.
