Oklahoma Tornado

The Oklahoma Tornado is a powerful, rotating storm with a visible funnel cloud that forms during severe thunderstorms, often spawned by supercell systems. Oklahoma's flat terrain and frequent weather patterns make it particularly vulnerable. Tornadoes can cause extensive damage through high winds, destroying buildings, uprooting trees, and posing serious threats to safety. The state experiences these storms mainly in spring and early summer, driven by warm, moist air meeting cold, dry air. Preparedness, early warning systems, and sturdy construction are vital to minimizing risks associated with these natural events.
