When talking about Oklahoma, tornado is not a rare or unusual term. But in November, large strength tornadoes are considered to be rare and unusual. On November 7th a tornado hit Oklahoma. Yearly about 3400 tornadoes have been in Oklahoma, but on this day it was different. The tornado pictured on the right is what hit Oklahoma. As you can see from the picture, it had a very high intensity and was very large, registering at EF4.
I found this to be very interesting. Oklahoma is hit with multiple tornadoes a year but only a couple reach the EF4/EF5 range in the month of November. Last record of one with this large of intensity was back in 1930.
