2.6 Miles Wide

On Friday, May 31st, Central Oklahoma had another notable tornado event, an EF5 tornado that measured 2.6 miles wide.  That is a record width.  It last 40 minutes, the time of testing.

This tornado clocked winds of 296 mph, just shy of the 318 winds measured in the May 3rd, 1999 tornado of Moore, Oklahoma.  This makes two rare EF-5 tornadoes in just 11 days, both within 30 miles of each other. Oklahoma has only had eight EF-5 tornadoes ever recorded.  Though in the following site they state the May 3rd tornado’s wind speed was 301 (death), it was reported at 318 when it occurred.

This tornado was about 13700 feet wide, 137 being the lifespan of Levi.  It would appear we are reaching a crescendo of some sort.  This was a multi-vortex tornado.  There were other separate tornadoes that hit the Oklahoma City area that evening.

I have not seen such fear as what happened on May 31st.  People were exceptionally fearful after the May 20th tornado.  The Interstate highways were gridlocked from people attempting to flee the storm.  As noted in the local coverage, the automobile is the worst place to be when a tornado is in the area.

This corresponds with the increased Spiritual activity we are seeing.  Increased activity is indicative of a breakthrough.  I trust the breakthrough will manifest soon.  From a Scriptural basis, notable revelation brings a response from the earth, whether it be rain, hail, snow, whirlwinds, earthquakes, etc.
