Answer 2

I don't want to scare you but the thunderstorms in Oklahoma are scary. They can be very violent, as far as winds are concerned. I'm not saying every thunderstorm is severe but in OK City the conditions are ripe for violent weather, even tornadoes. Another problem is during the winter, the snow there is enough to make it look like you live in Alaska during January and March. I wouldn't hold my breath while living there though, tornadoes are rare and are relatively quick, it's the violent ones you have to keep your eyes peeled for.

Tornadoes are scary, the great advantage you have is that OK City was hit by an f-5 in 1999. The buildings in this area should be stronger to withstand the most violent thunderstorms after what had happened there. Of course tornadoes are a different story, unfortunately.

Answer 3

Oklahoma City is part of "Tornado Alley", where most of the tornadoes in the US happen.  Just make sure you have a safe room to go in when tornadoes happen.

Answer 4

Oklahoma City has had some of the worst tornadoes on record and it's right in tornado alley. If you have a safe place to go, or a storm shelter you should be ok though.
