On Sunday, April 28, a destructive outbreak of severe weather swept through Oklahoma. The National Weather Service office in Norman, Oklahoma, set a record for the number of tornado warnings issued in one day — 59.
Tornadoes resulted in the deaths of four people in the state, and at least 100 individuals were injured. Over 40,000 people were left without power.
One rare EF-4 tornado and at least two EF-3 tornadoes destroyed entire communities in Oklahoma over the weekend. This marks the first EF-4 tornado in Oklahoma since 2016. The most severe damage was reported in the towns of Sulphur and Holdenville.
Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt reported that approximately 30 people were injured in Sulphur alone. The destruction there was extensive.
Authorities stated that the tornado in Sulphur began in a city park and then moved through the downtown area, where it destroyed many buildings, flipped cars and buses, and tore roofs off houses within a 15-block radius. Surviving structures had windows and doors blown out.
Business owners on West Muskogee Avenue were shocked to find that a significant portion of the bustling downtown, featuring art galleries, restaurants, and other shops, had simply vanished.
Many people sought shelter from the storm and tornado in the gymnasium of the local high school. Jaclyn Wright shared that the sound of the tornado touching down resembled a helicopter’s roar. Kelly Trassell, a lifelong resident of Sulphur, was stunned by the scale of the destruction: “How do you rebuild from this? It’s complete devastation... It’s insanity, you want to help but where do you start?“
Heavy rains accompanying the tornadoes in Oklahoma led to dangerous flooding and water rescues. Outside Sulphur, the rising lake levels prompted the closure of Chickasaw National Recreation Area, where storms destroyed a pedestrian bridge. Rural hospital buildings were damaged, and roads were washed out.
During a visit to the hard-hit city, Governor Kevin Stitt remarked, “You just can’t believe the devastation. It looks like every business in the downtown area is pretty well wiped out.“ As a result of the severe weather aftermath, the governor issued a 30-day state of emergency declaration for 12 counties.
Cleanup efforts began on Monday in the small towns of Oklahoma to clear debris and address other aftermaths of the destructive tornadoes and heavy rains.
The deadly tornadoes in Oklahoma are just part of a multi-day severe weather event that affected over 60 million Americans, wreaking havoc from Texas to Iowa since Friday. As of April 30, over 100 tornadoes ranging from EF-0 to EF-3 have been confirmed. As a result of the rampage of nature, 5 people have died, dozens were injured, and thousands have lost their homes, turned into ruins.
The significant increase in tornado activity raises particular concern. The rise in their numbers and intensity in the United States poses a serious threat, leading to increased destruction, damage, and loss of life. Information on the real causes of such catastrophic climate change witnessed in recent years worldwide was provided at the “Global Crisis. Responsibility“ forum, as well as a solution to the climate problem possible to implement with the cooperation of the international scientific community. We recommend reviewing this information.
