EF4 Tornado Strikes Marietta, Oklahoma: At Least Four People Killed Including a Four-Month-Old Baby

On April 29, 2024, a devastating tornado struck the small town of Marietta, Oklahoma. The tornado was upgraded to an EF4 with winds of up to 165-170 mph, making it the strongest tornado in the US since May 9, 2016. At least four people were killed by the tornadoes that swept through Oklahoma, including a young child. The town was left in ruins as every business appeared to have been destroyed.

Governor Kevin Stitt visited Sulphur, Oklahoma where the devastation was most severe. He declared a state of emergency in 12 counties and offered his condolences to the families who had lost loved ones. President Joe Biden also offered federal support in response to the disaster.

One family that was particularly affected by the tornado was that of a four-month-old baby named [Baby's Name] who died during the storm. The Skeen family is recovering from their physical wounds and facing an emotional scar after losing their child. Morrison's Main Street Market, Boomarang Diner, and Security State Bank in Holdenville are accepting donations for the family to help them during this difficult time.

The tornadoes that hit Oklahoma were part of a larger outbreak that produced at least 50 tornadoes since April 25. The National Weather Service is conducting surveys to assess the damage caused by these storms and determine their ratings on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
