Monday marks the one-year anniversary of a massive tornado that swept through Woodward, Oklahoma, on April 15, 2012.
Six Oklahomans were killed and dozens were injured when the EF-3 touched down.
Authorities say a signal tower for the city's tornado sirens was struck by lightning, leaving little warning.
The tornado ripped a path two miles long, damaging nearly 100 homes and businesses.
