ENID, Okla.—A powerful tornado in Oklahoma ripped roofs off buildings and reduced others to rubble, knocked down power poles and sent emergency crews rushing into a rural community near Vance Air Force Base, officials said.
The confirmed tornado Thursday moved across parts of Enid, a city of about 50,000 people near the state’s northern border, according to the National Weather Service. Video showed a rapidly rotating column of air touching down along with totaled homes.
