did you guys ride this thing out in a basement or just a lower floor? So glad you made it through and thanks for posting.

@khaler2000

We were in the basement under the stairwell.

On a side note - we had a couple of cats at the time and they went to the basement long before we did...instinct I guess.

@clash7samurai It was unbelievable. And it did sound like a train. Exactly. We lived close to the tracks and I couldn't tell the difference. Until it got about a mile from us. It sounded like 100 going over the cellar we were in. It looked like bombs had gone off. The destruction and death were almost more than a person could bear. I was 16 and lost one of my best friends, some more friends, 23 altogether in our small town.

@clash7samurai I have a video James Spann, one of our local meteorologists did a few years later. It WAS unbelievable. It looked like a war zone. We lived close to train tracks, and it sounded exactly like one coming from the town west of us. I tried to post a link to the video, but it wouldn't let me.

I thought El Reno Oklahoma was going to look like this on May 24, 2011. I was storm chasing and the tornado was headed straight for the town I live in, then it took a slight left turn and hit the North side missing the heavier populated areas. I thought my home was not going to be there anymore as the tornado passed by me. It was an EF 5 rated tornado just like this one that hit your home. I'm glad no one was killed in your neighborhood, we had 2 people killed in northern El Reno.

Looks Like you got the worst of it vs. your neighbors. Wow!

@DadOf4Spartans From what I understand, the smaller yet powerful satellite vortices, sometimes only yards wide, can account for the utter destruction right near intact objects & structures, much like with your bisected house right adjacent to the relatively intact neighbor's house; then destruction farther out as they traveled on a longer radius on subsequent revolutions around the main vortice. Amazing video.
