Large Tornado Touches Down in Oklahoma
MOORE, Okla., May 6 (UPI) — Multiple tornadoes touched down in Oklahoma on Wednesday, one of which was much larger and caused damage.
Smaller tornadoes earlier in the afternoon gave way to a storm that produced at least one larger tornado near west Norman and south Moore near the University of Oklahoma.
Accuweather described the twister as “large and extremely dangerous” as it closed in on Newcastle, Okla.
At least one structure was damaged in Bridge Creek, Okla., west of Newcastle, and homes were “leveled” in Blanchard, Okla., KWTV-TV in Oklahoma City reported. As the storm moved east, the funnel was cloaked by rain, making it dangerous and difficult to see whether and where it touched the ground.
The storm, which was still experiencing rotation, was headed northeast around 6 p.m. local time. No injuries had been reported.
This is a developing story.
