| My family owned a business that was involved with cleanup, rebuilding, & repairing houses and structures damaged by an EF5. While checking out houses to be repaired, I did quite a bit of searching for anything unusual as far as damage or whatever done by the tornado. One thing I did notice was how green tree leaves had been stripped off trees and some were embedded into the exterior paint on house siding and trim. Those leaves wouldn't just wash off.
Certain residences had cars, boats, lawnmowers etc. in their yards that didn't belong there. One guy said he never did figure out who the owners were of different riding mowers that got deposited on his property by the tornado.
I and family were hearing about the tornado outbreak near Moore and OKC on that very evening while standing outside further south. We had been super busy with work and stopped earlier that day. Couldn't help noticing how green the dark clouds appeared. It looked angry.
