Tornado tears through Oklahoma

As I predicted, a Tornado has torn through Hammond in Oklahoma destroying buildings and tearing down power lines.
No injuries were reported, but roofs were seen to be torn from buildings sending debris flying in the air.


Tornadoes are formed when 'supercell' thunderstorms occur, usually when a cold front is created by intense low pressure and when an area of warm air moves into an area. This video (click) by storm chaser Bryan Barnes explains the formation.
