11 years ago today, tragedy hit part of the oklahoma metropolitan area, Killing 24 and and injuring 212. It was also the last EF-5 tornado as of May 20 2024, with winds of 210 mph, for reference, ef-5 winds can destroy your house and sweep the foundation clean.
The tornado went through a failed occlusion (cooler air wrapping around the back of the tornado but failing to cut off the warm air) causing a weird loop in it's track
The tornado caused an estimated $2 billion in damage, and reached a max width of 1,900 yds.
After the tornado, moore had to rebuild for a 2nd time (since the 1999 bridge creek-moore tornado) 11 years later, it has rebuilt and transformed into the moore we know today
