[PAR] [TLE] 2013 El Reno tornado [SEP] The 2013 El Reno tornado was a very large and intense EF3 tornado that occurred over rural areas of Central Oklahoma during the early evening of May 31, 2013.  The widest tornado in recorded history, it was part of a larger weather system that produced dozens of tornadoes over the preceding days.  The tornado initially touched down at 6:03 p.m. Central Daylight Time (2303 UTC) about 8.3 mi west-southwest of El Reno, rapidly growing in size and becoming more violent as it tracked through central portions of Canadian County.  Remaining over mostly open terrain, the tornado did not impact many structures; however, measurements from mobile weather radars revealed extreme winds in excess of 295 mph within the vortex; these are the second-highest observed wind speeds on Earth, with only the 1999 Bridge Creek–Moore tornado having recorded slightly higher wind speeds.  As it crossed U.S. Highway 81, it had grown to a record-breaking width of 2.6 mi .  Turning northeastward, the tornado soon weakened.  Upon crossing Interstate 40, the tornado dissipated around 6:43 p.m. CDT (2343 UTC), after tracking for 16.2 mi , it avoided affecting the more densely populated areas near and within the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. [PAR] [TLE] 1999 Bridge Creek–Moore tornado [SEP] The 1999 Bridge Creek–Moore tornado (locally referred to as the May 3 tornado) was a very powerful F5 tornado in which the highest wind speeds ever measured globally, 301 mph , were recorded by a Doppler on Wheels (DOW) radar.  The tornado devastated southern portions of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, along with surrounding suburbs and towns during the early evening of May 3, 1999.  Throughout its 85-minute existence, the tornado covered 38 mi , destroying thousands of homes, killing 36 people (plus an additional five indirectly), and leaving US$1 billion in damage, ranking it as the fifth-costliest on record, not accounting for inflation.
