Two residences were enveloped by the circulation at the intersection of County Street 2580 and E1130 Road. Dean Farrow and his wife Cari lived in one of these houses. Dean was not home when the tornado struck, but his wife was and she took refuge in a storm shelter with their two dogs. In an interview with The Oklahoman, Cari said, “I could hear that thing spinning. I can’t believe all that stuff was happening on top of me. When I stepped out, I just lost it.” Thankfully, she survived unharmed, though the residence was a complete loss. The brick house was almost entirely destroyed, leaving a couple interior walls surrounded by debris. A large garage was completely swept away and a few trees sustained minor debarking. Dean’s pickup truck was ripped to shreds, with the engine torn out and the chassis thrown. Their neighbor, Gail Warren, had significant damage to her 100-year-old house. The roof was fully ripped off, and several walls collapsed. A garage behind the residence was also leveled. The video below shows the development of the twister from inception up to striking the homes.
