“Please be careful tonight. The storm that produced a bad tornado up in Enid is headed towards Stillwater. I no longer live there but my cousin lives there, my unborn child’s father lives there and I have multiple friends from years ago that live there too. This storm produced a f3-f4 tornado that just barely missed my house in Enid by less than a mile. Luckily im out of Enid tonight. Im really hoping that it dies down before it gets to you guys but please please be careful. This is some of the damage it produced and the size of the tornado it produced in Enid. Please don’t risk your safety and pay attention to the weather,” one person wrote, sharing visuals.
