The community is dealing with some major blows.

"Most likely well built houses (being in the Oklahoma metro) with some exterior wall failures away from the garages. Significant damage," one fan wrote.

"More damage from a large tornado last night in the immediate OKC metro," one fan added.

"Just terrible… in the DEAD of night too… absolutely worst time for it to happen. 2-3am is just terrible for those poor people," one fan added.

Our thoughts are with everyone in the area during this difficult time.
