The worst tornado in Oklahoma City history was the F5 that struck on May 3, 1999 causing $1 billion in damage and killing 38 people. The worst of the damage was in the suburb of Moore, however, and by the time the tornado entered Oklahoma City proper it had weakened to F4 intensity, which is still a very violent tornado.
