Tornado Ravages Through Community Near Air Force Base: ‘Vulnerable Time’
Tornadoes tore through parts of Oklahoma on Thursday, injuring at least 10 people and causing serious property damage, according to KOCO News 5.
No fatalities were reported from the severe weather, which primarily hit the northern part of the state.
One of the hardest-hit communities was Enid, where roughly 40 homes were damaged, KTUL reported. The city is home to Vance Air Force Base, and a dramatic video from the area showed a massive tornado moving near it.

Oklahoma Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt urged prayers for those affected.
“Please join me in praying for the Enid community, which has been severely impacted by tonight’s tornado,” Gov. Kevin Stitt (R-OK) posted to X last Thursday night.
“I have spoken with Enid’s local leaders and will continue working with them as they assess the damage and identify needs. My prayers are with everyone on Vance Air Force Base and the surrounding neighborhood, and I am asking God to bring healing and comfort in the days ahead.”
Stitt warned that storms will “continue to move across Oklahoma tonight.”
