Moore: A Community That Rebuilt After the 2013 Tornado
Moore sits on Interstate 35 between Oklahoma City and Norman, and for most of the twentieth century it functioned as a modest agricultural stop. Population growth accelerated after 1960 as Oklahoma City expanded southward. By the early 2000s Moore had developed into a suburban bedroom community of roughly 60,000 residents.
On May 20, 2013, an EF5 tornado cut a path through the city, killing 24 people, seven of them children at Plaza Towers Elementary School. Winds were measured at over 200 miles per hour, and the damage path stretched 17 miles. It was the third major tornado to strike Moore in 14 years, following EF5 storms in 1999 and EF4 in 2003. The 1999 Bridge Creek-Moore tornado produced the highest wind speed ever recorded on Earth at 301 miles per hour.
Rebuilding after 2013 included the reconstruction of Plaza Towers Elementary with reinforced safe rooms and the adoption of stricter residential building codes. Moore was among the first municipalities in Oklahoma to require enhanced wind resistance in new single-family home construction.
