For 35 years, I’ve lived in Oklahoma City and thought I had seen it all when it comes to bad weather—but nothing prepared me for what unfolded today. A massive tornado tore through the heart of the city, sending debris flying, shaking buildings, and filling the air with chaos and fear.

The terrifying roar of the wind and the sheer force of the storm left a trail of destruction in mere seconds. Cars were tossed, power lines snapped like twigs, and the sky turned an eerie shade of gray. People ran for shelter as the tornado moved dangerously close to homes, businesses, and families just going about their daily lives.

This was not just another storm. It was a wake-up call. Tornadoes in Oklahoma aren’t new, but this one felt different — stronger, faster, and far more destructive. Witnessing it from such a close distance was a moment I’ll never forget. It makes you appreciate every moment of peace, knowing how fast it can be taken away.

Emergency services are already responding, but the damage is extensive. My heart goes out to everyone affected. Let’s stay strong and help each other recover from this terrifying experience.
