Tragedy struck Oklahoma, where a series of tornadoes left a path of devastation following the recent outbreak of severe weather. The devastating storm has hit multiple states, damaging severely in Oklahoma as PEOPLE reports one person is dead because of it.
Series of tragedies in Oklahoma
The Osage County Sheriff’s Office confirmed one fatality resulting from a massive twister that hit Barnsdall. This comes barely five weeks after the town experienced a similar disaster, thus underlining how serious things have become.
Moreover, Bartlesville, too, did not escape with little harm done but considerable damage sustained instead. Although no casualties were reported from Bartlesville alone, it was felt even deeper deep down inside.
These same winds wreaked havoc through Missouri and Tennessee, leaving roofs ripped off buildings, as well as other damages caused mostly at local establishments or infrastructural facilities level.
Ongoing threats
Trying to pick up pieces following such incidents is always hard on the communities’ part, but unfortunately, they have to be prepared for the worst as well. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), there are still chances of stronger tornadoes touching Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, and Tennessee, among other places around them.
