OKLAHOMA CITY ( KFOR ) — There’s a long road of clean up in neighborhoods near Southeast 89th and Sunnylane Road. News 4 talked with neighbors on Monday to get an update on the clean up, a week after the EF 3 tornado touched down.
Dining room chairs, bikes, a car flipped upside down, and more are just some of the bigger pieces found in the rubble of the neighborhood.

It’s only been seven days, but neighbors said there’s already a huge improvement on the clean up.
“It sounded like a locomotive train on steroids. I mean, it’s the loudest I’ve ever heard in my life,” said Thomas Shaver, who took shelter in his home from the tornado.
“I had just gotten out of bed and part of our roof came through one window,” said Chris Cook, who also took shelter.
Neighbors reflected on the night and said it was horrific.
Now, their hours and days are dedicated to cleaning up and salvaging what they can.
