National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Reports

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has been monitoring a series of destructive tornadoes that ravaged Oklahoma on April 19th, 2023. The storms, with winds reaching speeds of up to 110 mph, left a path of devastation across the state.

According to NOAA's Weather Prediction Center, the tornadoes touched down during the late afternoon hours of April 19th. The storms tracked across several counties, causing widespread damage to homes, businesses, and infrastructure.

The Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security is working to assess the extent of the damage and provide assistance to those affected. An interactive map on the Weathergov Norman OK website provides real-time updates on the location and severity of storm damage, allowing residents to stay informed about the situation in their area.

NOAA advises residents to remain weather aware and to take precautions if the tornadoes threaten. The organization recommends seeking shelter in sturdy buildings or underground, avoiding windows, and staying informed about the latest weather conditions.
