While most of the attention today has been on Norman, Oklahoma after a powerful tornado swept through the area causing significant damage to the city. A second, and even more powerful tornado touched down further West in Cheyenne unfortunately claiming the life of 1 individual as their home was thrown 100+ yards away into a field. This tornado was so strong it also toppled a major radio tower, threw multiple other houses off their foundation, debarked some trees, and threw heavy machinery multiple yards away from their original location
You can see signs of ground scouring as the powerful tornado tore through the open fields and at other locations full size truck and semis were tossed like toys (some upwards of 50) while other homes were completely destroyed or severely damaged and residents remain lay scattered all over the area.
School was cancelled today, and instead of students enjoying their day off the community came together to help the clean up process Leisha Carlson tells Aaron Rigsby.

This is absolutely insane damage for a day like yesterday. Rest in peace to the victim, his name was Billy Trammell.

[@justinfredricks6230]

I live right where they are saying this happened! I'm telling you, that video is 100% a lie. Been here all my life in this city. We are under deep snow. No tornado. No death. All lies! Fake made up video to shock and get likes

[@smileygladhands]

Wow. RIP Billy.

[@jerradmechals1]

What does that mean? It was insane damage for a day like yesterday? I honestly don't get it

[@vincentoconnor5640]

​@@jerradmechals1 That day was forecasted to have a really limited, and frankly a pretty minimal strong tornado threat. Additionally this all happened in the month of February, and in the plains no less. That's why this damage is pretty crazy to me.

that trailer was airborne for quite a distance before it disintegrated on impact.that would have to be terrifying for the occupants. especially in the dark.prayers to all involved.

[@Og-Judy]

That's why they tell people living in trailer homes to GET OUT to a SOLID building or shelter. They are nothing but giant kites. 75 mph straight line winds will roll a mobile home. Sad people think when they say get to an interior room or bathroom they are including trailers.. They mean Solid built homes on a foundation bolted down into the ground. Even tied down trailers aren't safe in huge winds.

My goodness. That is intense. I wonder what it was rated. Definitely praying 🙏 for this family tonight , the deceased,and for everyone affected. Tornadoes appear to be occurring more frequently with greater intensity.

[@anthonyloconte7835]

That ground scouring is pretty serious. Those homes were not on slab foundations so we are around EF3 for some of this. Wind rowing of debris is also evident in some images.

[@bassangler73]

I agree, mid EF3 in places...Otherwise upper end EF2 but all that doesn't matter to the family of the fatality..

[@zachcurry8392]

It's refreshing to actually find someone who actually knows how the EF scale works in the comments section of a tornado damage video for once. I expected to see a bunch of tornado geek kids going "OMG ITS EF5!!!!!1111!!" when I clicked on this video. But yeah, high-end EF2 at least, and very possibly EF3 based on the debris pattern and contextual evidence.

[@bassangler73]

@@zachcurry8392 I understand completely bro...I'm an arm chair meteorologist...ha ha. I have been into severe weather since I was a kid and I'm 49 now..I read everything I can get my hands on about severe weather..Yes you are correct, if a few chicken houses get blown over and some old growth trees fall it's definitely an EF5 in the comments...😂😂😂😂

[@anthonyloconte7835]

@@zachcurry8392 I have an EM background and did several surveys with the NWS. I also have had the chance to personally survey tornadoes from EF0 to EF5. The 5 being Rainsville, AL in 2011. There I saw homes slabbed and foundation lifted and cracked. Oak trees were completely debarked. At one point I measured the path at 3/4 mile wide into a wooded area. It was insane.

[@anthonyloconte7835]

Agree about the minimum EF3.

[@Og-Judy]

EF 1 will roll a trailer home. The fact they sit up off the ground where high winds can get underneath is enough to send them flying. They are not constructed the same as a stick built home that's bolted down to a concrete foundation. The boards and framing aren't as thick in a mobile home either because they'd be to heavy to move with a truck

[@anthonyloconte7835]

@@Og-Judy Reason number one that tornado injuries and fatalities are concentrated in the mid west and southeast US. Mobile homes.

[@alexmangrum90]

​@@anthonyloconte7835 Tornadoes are more deadly now in the southeast because of fast moving jet streams & due to nocturnal storms & lack of proper storm shelters.

In the months I was there I personally saw over 13 tornadoes and immediately realized I could NEVER live in a place like that.
