Barely Visible Massive Tornado Wrecks Barnsdall, Oklahoma

Monday, May 6 at 9:45 p.m, Barnsdall, Oklahoma was put in a Tornado Emergency while a tornado, suspected to be an EF4, destroyed homes, the landscape and even the nursing home.

As of right now, there has been one confirmed fatality reported and many more injured. There were families trapped and gas leaks were present after the impact. Eerily similar to April 26th's Sulphur tornado, Barnsdall is currently seeking help from professionals. They do have EMS and officials on hand with an emergency care set up, but obviously those suffering from loss of property may not have much to their name.

Researchers and storm spotters say that debris was lofted about 30,000 feet in the air and they are estimating that the tornado could've reached over a mile wide and winds stronger than 130 miles per hour. Of course, mother nature decided to do her worst under the cover of nightfall, so pictures of the tornado were minimal. In fact after looking at this picture by Gabriel Taylor, I was thinking he may have accidentally taken a photo of the daytime sky with two clouds. But if you look closer, you'll just how massive this tornado was.

Spotters in the area have stopped chasing in order to help those in need and help document the disaster before them. This heartbreaking scene is still being searched for those in need and tomorrow, when daylight comes, the damage will be evaluated to determine just how massive this tornado was.

If you would like to help Barnsdall, Oklahoma volunteers would be welcome to come and clean debris and assist those in need in the coming days. For now, pray for them and prepare donations, monetary or others, for those affected.
