A powerful tornado ripped roofs off buildings and knocked down power poles in Oklahoma on Thursday (23 April).
Officials said the extreme weather sent emergency crews rushing into a rural community near Vance Air Force Base.
The confirmed tornado moved across parts of Enid, a city of approximately 50,000 people near the state's northern border, the National Weather Service (NWS) said.
Footage shows a rapidly moving column of air touching down along with totaled homes.
There were no immediate reports of fatalities and only minor injuries hours after the tornado passed through, according to the Garfield County Sheriff's Office.
The National Weather Service in Norman issued a tornado emergency alert for Enid until 8:45pm CDT on Thursday, warning of possible golf ball-sized hail.
