The Midwest endured days of severe weather last week and this past weekend, including tornadoes and strong wind. One of the tornadoes, an EF-4 which struck Marietta, Oklahoma, and killed 1, was the country’s strongest tornado in over a year, with its winds estimated at 170 miles per hour.
Another tornado hit Sulphur, Oklahoma, killing 5 and injuring over 100 others in the small town of just over 5,000. That tornado is currently rated as an EF-3, but could be upgraded as the damage it caused is surveyed further.
