A deadly and devasting tornado struck Moore, Oklahoma on 20 May 2013. With 321 km/h winds, the tornado lasted for 40 minutes. The tornado flattened entire neighbourhoods and left some two dozen school children trapped in the rubble of their school.

These Google satellite images show Moore captured on 29 April 2013, before the tornado struck, and 22 May 2013, two days after the deadly tornado moved through the suburb. Moore was once a thriving suburb but has now been flattened.
