2nd tornado cluster ravages towns in Oklahoma and Texas
...
The community of Seminole, Oklahoma, has been ripped apart by two tornado events in three days, including a multi-tornado outbreak Wednesday evening, leading to massive structural damage and power outage in the city. Seminole, located about 60 miles southeast of Oklahoma City, was first hit with a tornado at approximately 7:53 p.m. CDT Monday, with an eerie atmosphere and leading to downed buildings in the area that has a population of just over 7000 residents. Two nights later, the city became entrenched in severe weather once again as two tornadoes struck the area, the first being at around 6:46 pm CDT, with the tornado's immediate aftermath striking into the heart of the city. The second tornado of the evening touched ground at 8:48 pm, after the area was already shaken from the prior hour's damage. Seminole County was unable to sound the area's tornado sirens due to power outages, leading to a potentially dangerous situation for those needing to take safety precautions.
