On Thursday (20), the authorities said that a tornado killed at least three people in Oklahoma, United States.
Compared to records taken in November 2022, satellite images taken after the phenomenon reveal the devastation in the area. (See more below.)
“We’re going to completely destroy some homes all over our county,” said Deputy Sheriff Scott Gibbons.
The National Weather Service (NWS) found a home with EF-3 tornado damage near Cole, a rural town of 600 people. The EF-3 is the third strongest tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, with speeds of up to 265 kmph.
Also in Kule, according to KFOR-TV, two people emerged unharmed after escaping the storm by taking shelter in a manhole. It is estimated that up to 100 homes were destroyed in the area.
