    I'm from Oklahoma, I was traveling through these storms as they were forming outside of Weatherford and Duncan, it was scary seeing how it could go from a normal day with few clouds to being a heavy storm with the lowest clouds I seen in my life traveling the opposite way in a speed i didnt know clouds could move, and its scarier when you're surrounded by trees on a road and its raining so hard and lightening more frequently than normal and cant see of there's a tornado near by or not bc the trees block your view.

    That was a long line of storms along a front. We had violent storms here in Texas where I live. When I looked at the weather radar the storm extended from south of my home, all across Oklahoma, and into Arkansas, a truly massive storm. One of my cars was outside and damaged by hail. The unfortunate people of Sulfur Oklahoma had it so much worse.

    @@mycosys Mate I have seen Western European and American housing, there isn’t a difference between the two when it comes to that at all(practically identical) in area of middle and upper class+our homes are much larger compared to European of similar price(in fact almost double). The only difference lies in socio-economics and even still 2 years ago you could buy a house for just 120,000 that would have 3 bedrooms and 2 baths which is great for our society which is growing in population, capital, and investment which contributes to the reason we are economically larger and the entrepreneurial superiors of whatever you would call “Western countries” which adore our movies, culture, buy our goods, and are in a demographic spiral with a intolerant society to solve that issue to boot. You say our homes look poor, I say we have an advantage at every categorical level for such looks(which aren’t even accurate given their size relative to European housing and our building codes which are actually more regulated than your guys).

    No, it just means that the storm didn’t touch down where the hotel and the church stands. But perhaps was hit by debris only. The houses that are all gone: Where the tornado touched down. The houses that only has facades or roofs gone: Buildings in close vicinity to where the tornado hit. To build a house that can stand one of these storms you’d have to build one that can take a direct hit from a major bomb. That’s simply how powerful these tornadoes are. They can pick up and toss semitrailers like they were straws.

    Idk how common you think twisters are here but they aren’t anywhere as common as a flood or an earthquake; the need for such building codes sounds more like prepping for a nuclear apocalypse than a twister(most only get to the roof at most typical) and the codes themselves are very advanced depending on the area and their time of construction.

    As a European who has lived in the American mid-west I can say that these storms are monsters. Perhaps something built like an overground bomb shelter could hold up against one of these tornados. Otherwise they shred and scrapes off everything. The houses were noting remains but debris: Where the storm touched down. Tye buildings where only the facades or roofs are gone: The buildings in close proximity.
