• According to Commercial Roofing Contractors Oklahoma City, structures affected by prior tornado events, such as the 1999 and 2013 Moore tornadoes, are being evaluated for cumulative damage and repair needs.

Impact & Risks

The tornado has caused significant damage to commercial buildings in Oklahoma City and nearby areas, including Moore, Edmond, Midwest City, and Norman. Structures near the tornado's outer circulation are at risk of subtle but impactful damage, such as parapet and corner zone failures. Older buildings, especially those constructed before 1990, are more vulnerable due to outdated deck-to-structure connections. Water infiltration through damaged roofs can lead to extensive interior damage, affecting tenant improvements, equipment, and inventory. The risk of further damage increases if repairs are delayed.
