Trip to Claremore, Oklahoma

On May 3, 1999, a series tornadoes ripped through the state causing incredible havoc and forced a new system for classifying tornadoes since the wind speed was so high. I didn't really quite understand it until my roommate showed me this concrete pad near Stroud, Oklahoma. This used to be an entire shopping center that was completely destroyed. I put a link up here of the center after the storm. Pretty wild.
