At least five people, including a four-month-old infant, were killed as dozens of tornadoes tore through Oklahoma and neighboring states this weekend. The storms left thousands without power and triggered disaster declarations across the region—proving nature’s fury is no match for even the heartland’s tornado prep 🚨.
Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt described the destruction as the \"worst damage\" he’s seen during his tenure. In Sulphur, a town hit particularly hard, homes and businesses were reduced to rubble. \"This is a community that will need years to rebuild,\" Stitt said during a press briefing Sunday.
The National Weather Service reported 38 suspected tornadoes across the Southern Plains, with winds reaching 100+ mph. Over 47 million people from Texas to Wisconsin faced severe weather alerts Sunday, while hospitals in Oklahoma treated 100+ injuries.
Key impacts:
🔥 25,000+ Texas homes without power
🏥 Marietta hospital damaged (no injuries reported)
🆘 Biden declared major disasters in Washington and Kansas
As federal aid flows in, locals are left picking up the pieces—both literally and emotionally. Stay weather-aware, folks. Tornado season is just getting started ⚠️.
