TORNADO EMERGENCY IN SOUTHEAST OK CITY

#1 Postby WXBUFFJIM » Thu May 08, 2003 5:29 pm

Moore is in the path of a tornado that has been confirmed. A very LARGE TORNADO IS IN PROGRESS. Tinker airforce base is in the path of this. Similar track to may 3rd, 1999. Once again southeast OK CITY is underneath a tornado emergency. Seek underground shelter.

How ironic, five days after the four year anniversary of the Oklahoma City Tornado and in the same general area. :o :(

A large tornado ripped through Oklahoma City Thursday afternoon, lifting buildings off their foundations, toppling 18-wheelers and pummeling a General Motors (search) plant. At least 118 people were injured.

20 of these people are injured critically.

No word on any deaths yet.
