Oklahoma Steel and Wire is one of the businesses whose building was mangled by the tornado.

“The rooftops at the manufacturing facility got hurt – pulled it off and a new building that we had on the ground,” Kathleen Moore said.

“It sounded like a big freight train,” she said.

Luckily, none of their employees were injured.

However, a truck driver was injured and later died.

“There was an outside truck driver that had come in and he was taken by ambulance,” said Madill’s emergency manager. “We heard later he had a heart attack and died.”

Another man, whose twisted car could be seen, also died in the storm.

A third man, who was critically injured, was taken to a hospital in Texas.
