So, You Heard About That Oklahoma-Sized Straw?! ️
Let's talk about the elephant in the destroyed mobile home park, shall we? Folks, there wasn't a tornado in Oklahoma last night, there was a full-on atmospheric vacuum cleaner that decided to go rogue. Seriously, if your house went missing, don't blame a rogue Kardashian, blame this crazy windstorm!
How Big Was The Tornado In Oklahoma Last Night |
But Seriously, How Big Was This Bad Boy?
Now, we're still waiting on the official EF rating from the National Weather Service (those guys are basically tornado detectives!), but early reports suggest this monster was packing some serious punch. We're talking swirling winds that could make a bald eagle hold onto its head.
Unconfirmed reports (read: whispers from a very enthusiastic squirrel) suggest this twister might have been as wide as a football field. Now, that's a whole lot of field!
The Aftermath: Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, DODGE!
Thankfully, it seems like nobody got yoinked straight to Oz (although a few folks might be wishing they were!), but there are reports of some serious damage. Houses got the full Twister Tango treatment, trees are doing their best impersonations of contortionists, and even some stray tumbleweeds probably got a good spin cycle.
Tip: Jot down one takeaway from this post.
But hey, at least we can all (hopefully) look forward to some epic storm chaser footage hitting the internet soon!
