With the types of damage produced by this tornado I wouldn't be surprised if it's a high end EF-4 or even an EF-5. Its amazing that there have been no reported fatalities, but that could change unfortunately

Be wild if we ended up having 2 EF-5s in 2 years if it ends up being one. THe footage on the /r/tornado sub is WILD of this thing to.
Preliminary EF-4. Meaning at least an EF-4. Could still be an EF-5

Does not look like EF5 damage at least in the pictures in that article, not even particularly close to it

It stripped an entire neighborhood of homes to the slab foundations.

But it didn't wipe any of those slabs clean. Compare that neighborhood imagine to, say, the Jarrell EF5

They have, preliminarily, estimated the tornado to be 500 yards (1500ft) wide, and to have travelled about 9 miles.

Nah, I got a fantastic queso birria taco from that truck. I’ll admit that there wasn’t much else about the place that would bring me back though.

Not many horses in the area where it hit, might have been a few goats and beehives on the outskirts of gray ridge but almost every pet I’ve heard of made it through.

I escaped Oklahoma after 20+ years. Here's what will happen next: the politicians will make speeches about the "Oklahoma spirit" of strength, independence, and community. Behind the scenes, they will quietly petition the Federal government for the very same emergency funding that they campaign against. Okies won't realize that once again, they've been bailed out by the very federal government they despise, and will continue to vote against their own interests because they believe their own legends about how stalwart they are in the fight against "big government liberalism."
Next year, another tornado will repeat this cycle.

Almost forgot: this time, they'll be totally perplexed that the guy they voted for [cut billions from FEMA](https://www.npr.org/2026/03/30/nx-s1-5753765/fema-trump-extreme-weather-rural-pennsylvania) and cut FEMA's staff, so they won't get through this with the federal aid they're used to. Now that it really WILL depend on their "Oklahoma gumption" to get through it, they'll suffer. And blame Biden, AOC, and immigrants.

Does being in a basement or underground guarantee your survival during an EF4 or 5 or are you still fucked?

Almost no basements in the neighborhood that was hit but the vast majority had dedicated shelters.

Unless the house collapses on you, you are safe underground.
