Yes, sounds like there will be alot of damage all along this path.

They said it took the path that the May 3, 1999 tornado took.

Was that the F5/F6? (if there was such a designation for a 300mph tornado)

Lots of houses in OK don't have basements (some of the older ones like ours) but some are being built in homes now. It was something about the water table or something like that that was later proved false (I don't know, I'm a transplant from the Midwest and that's just what I was told).
