Multiple EF-3 tornadoes lay ruin to Oklahoma communities during deadly tornado outbreak
Most businesses in downtown Sulphur were completely destroyed by an EF-3 tornado on Saturday night during a severe weather outbreak. FOX Weather Correspondent Brandy Campbell said the situation is dangerous because buildings continue to collapse two days after the tornado.
SULPHUR, Okla. – At least three EF-3-rated tornadoes destroyed entire communities in Oklahoma over the weekend, killing four people in the state and leaving survivors searching through ruins.
Damage survey teams with the National Weather Service in Norman, Oklahoma, said they found damage consistent with at least EF-3 tornadoes based on the Enhanced Fujita Scale in the towns of Sulphur, Holdenville and Marietta. Further assessment is needed in Sulphur and Marietta, which might warrant a stronger tornado rating.
The tornado in Sulphur ripped through the downtown area, destroying nearly every business on West Muskogee Avenue. At least one death has been confirmed after a woman’s body was found in one of the buildings after the storm.
The only silver lining is that the twister hit late Saturday night when the downtown area was mostly empty.
Two other deaths were reported in Holdenvile and one in Marietta.
FOX Weather Correspondent Brandy Campbell reported from Sulphur on Monday, where the area most devastated by the storm continues to deteriorate. Some buildings crumble with gusts of wind, and the area is closed to the public because of the hazardous conditions.

“Police have said they’re trying to limit people coming back here because they have had some buildings continue to collapse,” Campbell said.
Owners with businesses on West Muskogee Avenue are shocked that the entire stretch of a vibrant downtown community that was home to arts, restaurants and other shops is just gone.
Christy Morris, co-owner of The Mix Mercantile, was one of many business owners who suffered catastrophic damage from the EF-3 tornado that tore through historic downtown Sulphur on Saturday night. She hopes to rebuild.
Larry, Allison and Vicki Combs own an antique furniture business in Sulphur that was destroyed by the tornado. On Monday, they said their business wasn’t recognizable.
“You see it on TV, (in) other places, and you feel bad for those people, but you really don’t know it ’til it’s you, ’til it hits you,” Larry Combs said.
Christy Morris, owner of The Mix Mercantile, said she first learned the tornado was happening when the security alarm notified her the doors were ripped open.
After waiting for the path to be clear enough to see the damage the next morning, Morris said it was “catastrophic.”

“There is no way that we are going to be able to salvage it,” she said.
The Table restaurant, another local business that shared The Mix Mercantile building, was also destroyed in the tornado. Morris said it’s especially devastating because the historic building was constructed in the 1920s.
Still, Morris said they would like to rebuild in downtown Sulphur.
“It would be terrible if we couldn’t build back in that location, in that town, because it truly is a very special place,” Morris said.
Recovery efforts face more severe weather this week
A heavy fog settled over the destruction in downtown Sulphur on Monday, and local officials are concerned about the possibility of severe weather this week.
