Moore, Oklahoma & Southern Okalahoma City Metro Hit With EF-4 Status Tornado 2013! Please Keep Them In Your Prayers! [VIDEOS]

A pretty bad situation going on today, May 20th, 2013, in Moore, OK as a tornado has swept through the city, a tornado of EF-4 status!  That's the second to highest tornado status on the Enhanced Fujita scale used to measure them!  So, you could say this was literally a monster tornado!

The tornado swept through the city and is described as “catastrophic tornado moving through southern parts of the OKC metro”.

LaLate Reports:

Shortly after 4:15 PM EST today, local news reported a massive and violent Moore tornado south of Oklahoma City currently. KOCO is reporting there is a “catastrophic tornado moving through southern parts of the OKC metro”. KOCO producer Elisea Smith reported spotting the activity moments ago. “Tornado at sw 149th and penn in sw OKC. I pray everyone has a safe place to go! Kids will be kept at school until further notice.” Michael Seiden is reporting closures as well. “Due to tornado warning, All OKCPS elementary and middle schools will not be dismissed until further notice.”

KOCO is advising residents to take shelter promptly. “If you live on the west side of Moore, Okla., you must be underground” it told news moments ago. Earlier at 2:57 PM local time the news station confirmed a tornado moving between “Penn and May on 149th”.

But roughly ten minutes ago, one resident spotted the tornado moving through West Monroe along 19th street. Now the station is confirming the same, reporting that the tornado has moved near 19th street as well. “Tornado about to cross SW 19th Street in Moore. 3:16 P.M. Must be in a tornado shelter now.”
