5 astonishing facts about Oklahoma's tornadoes
The deadly twister that struck near Oklahoma City in 2013 was the second top-of-the-scale EF5 tornado to hit the area in less than two weeks. Here are five facts you need to know about Oklahoma's recent spate of tornadoes:
1. The twister that tore through Oklahoma, which swelled from one mile to 2.6 miles wide in a 30-second span, is the widest ever recorded. For perspective, Manhattan is 2.3 miles wide at its widest point near 14th Street.
2. The nearly 295 mph wind speeds of the killer tornado beats every world wind record except the more-than 300-mph reading measured during the Moore, Okla., tornado in 1999.
3. The ferocious twister that blasted Oklahoma in 2013 was an EF5. On average, only one out of every 1,000 tornadoes that hit the U.S. each year might be an EF5.
4. There have only been 8 F5/EF5 tornadoes in Oklahoma since 1950, and two of them hit two weeks apart in 2013: the EF5 twister that struck on May 31 and the one that devastated Moore on May 20.
5. The 11 days from May 20 to May 31 is the shortest time span between EF5 tornadoes in Oklahoma history.
