Moore is the most tornado-struck city in the United States — a distinction that is both remarkable and sobering. The city has been struck by violent EF4 or EF5 tornadoes in 1999, 2003, and 2013. The 2013 EF5 tornado was over a mile wide and killed 24 people including 7 children at Plaza Towers Elementary School. Moore has essentially been rebuilt multiple times yet residents continue to return, creating one of the most unique emergency preparedness challenges in the nation.
