Deadly tornadoes tore through Oklahoma, claiming the lives of four individuals, including an infant, and injuring over 100 others. The destructive storms left a trail of devastation in Sulphur, a rural town with approximately 5,000 residents. Buildings were completely destroyed, cars overturned, and roofs blown off houses, leaving behind scenes of widespread destruction. Additionally, thousands of residents were left without electricity in the aftermath of the tornadoes. “You just can’t believe the destruction,” Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt said during a visit to the hard-hit town. “It seems like every business downtown has been destroyed.”
