OKLAHOMA CITY ( KFOR ) – People in an Oklahoma City neighborhood ravaged by an EF-3 tornado worked to pick up the pieces Sunday, hours after they all—somehow—managed to make it through the storm alive.
Numerous homes in a neighborhood near SE 89 th Street and Sooner Road in Oklahoma City were leveled when an EF-3 tornado struck their homes as they slept early Sunday morning.
“We’ve never gotten hit,” homeowner Jackie Shaver told News 4 Sunday afternoon.
“And this is just unbelievable.”
What is a tornado and what should I do if one strikes?
‘Unbelievable’—says shaver—that she and her neighbors made it out alive, despite the storm nearly leveling their homes to the foundation.
“Everything can be replaced,” Shaver said. “I can’t replace my neighbors and my family.”
Most people in the neighborhood News 4 spoke with said the storm came through with little to no warning—while they slept.
“The roof was literally being ripped off while we were in bed,” homeowner Dustin Gregg told News 4.
