Ah, don't let the history of the weather fool you. Tornadoes can strike anywhere and every 50 states have had at least 1 tornado before. If the ingredients are there, a tornado can form. Lawton has been hit directly twice in the past by strong tornadoes; once in 1957 and again in 1979. There was a tornado that hit the Goodyear Plant on this day, and another just to the northwest near Elgin. Also I was closer to Lawton. I was at the intersection of Lee Blvd and Red Elk Rd, looking south.

I'm just glad that no one is hurt.These storms are unpredictable, so it could've been a lot worst. The siren did, but its like it died as they fired it up so the only one we heard was from Fletcher. I think I know why on the news, they said that they wanted to build two more tornado sirens in Elgin. Weird thing is that this is the first tornado recorded to have ever touched down in Elgin, at least its the first one in history to have been recorded.

I live in Elgin next to the high school, this was one crazy storm I heard we had five confirmed EF-1 tornadoes. I wish I could of seen it but I had to look after my family since the school was closed (its one of the storm shelters here since none of the new houses built here have a safe room or shelter) and the siren in Elgin didn't go off either, the siren we heard came from Fletcher, either way this is good footage, thank you.

Thanks for the compliment! I'm glad you and your family are safe. This storm was indeed a dangerous one. I'm shocked that Elgin didn't sound the sirens as this storm, along with 3 other, came very close to town. I know Lawton had the sirens sounding for all 3 tornado warned storms that came through. Thanks for watching and stay safe!

Just to the west of Lawton, so you were nearer to Cache. Lawton doesn't get tornadoes. I was there for 2 years and the weather was always less than exciting. But drive 20 miles in either direction, and you'd find doom waiting for you. Lawton is just geographically not conducive for tornadoes.

if you look close there was dirt swirling around underneath that rotating wall cloud. Technically that was counted as a tornado. I've been talking with the Norman NWS who confirm it as a tornado as well.
