A tornado that ripped through Moore, Oklahoma on Monday has killed 51 people. The last tornado of this deadly magnitude killed over 40 people in Oklahoma in the the spring of 1999. Those living in Moore, outside of Oklahoma City, had just 16 minutes warning to prepare for the funnel cloud as noted by Reuters. Winds went beyond 200 miles per hour and affected an area wider than 17 miles. It is estimated that nearly 300 people were injured by the massive storm and others may still be trapped by the rubble wrought by the tornado. To help those in Moore, Oklahoma, donations can be made locally in Austin, Texas, through the Austin Disaster Relief Network, which can be reached at 9508 Jollyville Road, Suite 103 or by visiting adrntx.org.
