What I find so interesting is despite the two F5 tornadoes within a span of 14 years, the population has continued to grow. It went up 33% in 2010 and another 14% in 2020.
I've lived in Tuttle, Norman & Moore over the last 9 years now and my take on it is that it doesn't really matter where you live in terms of the tornadoes. If you like an area & can afford it, go for it and just roll the dice on the tornadoes.
Moore looks just like the image I had in my mind, a sea of mostly middle class urban sprawl with no real distinct "downtown" anywhere that I could see. Shopping centers, stores sprinkled here and there. Not knocking Moore at all, looks like a nice place to be.
at 1:24 on the right is Moore High (Lions, blue/red)football field, also used by crosstown rivals Westmoore (Jaguars, black/orange) and Southmoore (Sabercats, navy/Vegas gold). And yes, Toby Keith Blvd at 2:07 is THAT Toby Keith.
Moore overcovered their city with sirens. I think that was a great idea following May 20. They test every Saturday at noon along with the rest of the OKC metro. Best system I've heard imo.
Considering how Moore, Oklahoma is practically synonymous with violent and destructive tornadoes; I really can't blame the city council for installing as many storm sirens as possible to cover every square mile of the city.
@@MileageMikeTravels1999 and 2013 were the most infamous examples, but I heard they’ve had nine, separate tornadoes between the years of 1998 and 2023. That’s quite a busy 25-year stretch.

A town that knows how to deal with catastrophe! Never forget 5-3-1999 and 5-20-2013.
Yep they also got hit in 2003 2010 and 2015 and almost 2023
Amen.
Thank you.

Makes sense, considering.
Never know Moore was ravaged by a tornado 10 years ago. Great recovery...
May 5, 1999 was the first Big 🌪️ Tornado.
The Second Big one was May 20, 2023.
I remember watching it live on TV. Broke my heart .
may 20, 2013, not 2023.
@@nathanmack8979Actually, the tornadoes occurred on May 3rd, 1999 and May 20th, 2013.
@@MichaelLovely-mr6oh thank you.
Looks nice doesn't it. That's because large parts have been rebuilt 3 times since 2000. Twice the town was hit by EF-5 tornado's.
Interesting that the same town keeps getting hit multiple times.
