Oklahoma City, like most big cities in America, offers its residents and tourists an array of social, spiritual, employment, housing, education, medical, cultural arts, shopping, tourism and sports options, to name a few. Contrary to misguided, old-fashioned visions of modern day Oklahomans camping out in tepees and taking a canoe to work, residents of Oklahoma City enjoy the same modern luxuries as any other large city in the world. The rich and vast Oklahoma City cultural experience is often surprising to newcomers and visitors. I've heard plenty of newcomers say they expected to see nothing but wind sweeping down the plains and cows and horses (though Oklahoma does have plenty of them, but mostly in rural areas). Oklahoma City is also rich in ethnic diversity. If you visit OKC, you'll meet people from all different races, religions and ethnic backgrounds from all over the world.

The fastest wind recorded in a tornado was 302 mph in the Moore, Oklahoma tornado of May 3, 1999. Other tornadoes in history may have had faster winds, but actualy wind measurements from tornadoes are rare.On May 3, 1999, a strong F-5 tornado hit the Bridge Creek area SW of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Doppler radar wind speeds of 302 mph (486 kph) at a point about 100 feet of the ground. This was revised down from an earlier estimated of 318 mph (512 kph).The highest wind speed ever recorded in a tornado was 302 mph +/- 20. This was in the F5 tornado that hit Moore, Oklahoma on May 3, 1999.However, it is relatively rare for winds in a tornado to be measured directly so other tornadoes which did not have their winds measured may have had faster winds.
