This is a silent video of a drone flyover of Barnsdalle, Oklahoma.

Perhaps the one that was ripped off per the article
I watched this on the Weather Channel last night when it was happening. I checked the other local TV stations in that area and all they had on were silly TV shows on.
It was just about same date as a small Kansas town was wiped out in 2007 (on may 4), Greensburg. Near Garden City. It was worse, actually, town almost obliterated and about a dozen killed. Town was rebuilt, population 740. In 2000, it was over 1,500. A lot of people chose never to return to Greensburg.
Yep, I trucked through Greensburg about a year after that. There was still rebuilding going on. A lot of tree trunks with no limbs.
John Deere dealership was rebuilt. I remember seing pics of combines thrown around.
It’s a miracle anyone survived. This picture puts the lie to the idea that sheltering in a center closet or bathtub is a good plan.
Prayers up for these people.
The article states-
“with wind gusts reaching up to 70 mph”
I would believe wind speeds
were much higher than
70 mph.
We get 70 mph winds where
I live associated with
the larger thunderstorms.
We have yet to suffer
the devastation shown
in that video.
This guy does a good job calmly reporting extreme U.S. weather as it’s happening.
He says that he started his channel to save lives.
