I grew up in Oklahoma. People legit see they're in a tornado warning and pull out their grill and start BBQing and watching the clouds. It happens so much people just get accustomed to it

It's all fun and games until a broken tornado siren is more frightening than the tornado itself.

I remember 2011, it really impacted my town. It was an EF 4 tornado the ripped up our town and currently we are still building up what we lost

Actually the El Reno Tornado was only the 2nd fastest wind speed ever measured. It was 295mph. The 302 mph you used was from the Bridge-Creek Moore Oklahoma Tornado that occured on May 3rd, 1999.

As usual, Arizona escapes all natural disasters in replacement for its heat.

I walked home from school after the 2013 tornado. The devastation was akin to a warzone.

I remember watching on the News that the tornado was coming closer to Oklahoma City. I was a bit terrified because just a week before we had Moore hit by a tornado where I lived. My parents weren’t super scared but when you see a Oklahoman weatherman get that serious you know it’s bad
