Moore Tornado 2013 - Oklahoma
The Dillon Foundation was once again on the scene doing what we do best..... put a smile on people's faces.
"The 2013 Moore tornado was an EF5 tornado that struck Moore, Oklahoma,
and adjacent areas on the afternoon of May 20, 2013, with peak winds estimated
at 210 miles per hour (340 km/h), killing 23 people (+1 indirectly)[4] and
injuring 377 others.[3][5][6] The tornado was part of a larger weather system
that had produced several other tornadoes over the previous two days. The
tornado touched down west of Newcastle at 2:56 p.m. CDT (19:56 UTC), staying on
the ground for 39 minutes over a 17-mile (27 km) path, crossing through a
heavily populated section of Moore. The tornado was 1.3 miles (2.1 km) wide at
its peak."
