Most destructive tornado in the US
Moore,Oklahoma
(CBS Radio) — On May 20, 2013, a massive tornado swirled through Moore, Oklahoma — leaving a trail of destruction and devastation behind. At least 24 people have been confirmed dead, and close to 2400 homes were caught in the tornado’s path, thus resulting in damage.
A tornado is more likely to form in the United States than in any other country in the world. In any given year, there are around 1200 tornadoes reported in our country. Additionally, people who live in the Midwest are at an increased risk for witnessing a tornado and experiencing the aftermath of a tornado — as the Midwest region of the United States is more likely to have tornadic activity. Every year, people in the Midwest try to prepare for the possibility of a tornado touching ground, especially during tornado season — which is April through June.
