OKC area tornado March 25th 2015

What areas in Moore were the hardest hit? What was the official classification of the tornado? EF-4? EF-5?

[bchris02]

Mike Morgan was saying he thought it would be EF2. It definitely wasn't any higher than EF3 if that.

There is about to be a lot of land available off of 4th street. I don't think they will end up putting the antennas back up.

All I know is I'd never ever live in Moore.

Based on what?

Take a look at this tornado map path showing tornados that have hit Canadian, Cleveland, and Oklahoma county and tell me where you think you would have a lesser chance of taking a tornado hit?

Based on that map and just shy of 25 years of living in homes about 200 feet apart as crow debris flies, being my neighbor ain't a bad idea

Living next to me isn't necessarily a picnic. I sometimes play my music a bit loud. However, if you bunk up with extended family near me, your sister isn't very likely to end up under a house.

Looks like I need to continue to live where I do. I get that they can happen anywhere but it seems like whenever there is a storm moore is a magnant. It really sucks cause I think the town has a lot going for it. The storms last night were suppose to be weakening but as the approached moore its ramps up and drops a tornado. In my lifetime the only significant tornados with major loss have hit moore with the exception of the el reno one which really didn't do as much damage even though it was huge as well. I'm sure that has to do with population.

I just don't think I could do it.

Of course, everyone in this state should understand that there is a possibility of them being affected by a tornado. If we were going on that map alone, people are going to be more interested in the orange, red, black tracks. The F0-F2's quickly fade into memory. Its only a matter of time before a large violent tornado goes through the heart of OKC.

I think it has to do with some sort of oddity with the topography of the land,..somehow tornadoes are likely to have their winds channeled into Moore. Meteorologists Often Overemphasize Residential Evacuations.

Noticed the map is wrong for the May 3rd Tornado. It shows it crossing Santa Fe at S.W. 25th and I-35 at 4th Street which isn't correct. A couple miles off but still an interesting viewpoint.
