I grew up in Northeast Oklahoma, my home town is only about 20 miles from Barnsdall and also got hit. I also had tornado threats when I lived in Nebraska with the Air Force. I can't think of ever being directly affected by a tornado, beyond seeking cover a couple of times and it affecting a job interview (I traveled in some bad rain but the interview was cancelled due to a tornado).

My roughly equal number of years living in the Greater Houston area, despite being North of the city and out of the worst of hurricane danger, I had far more issues with rain, flooding and hurricanes than I ever saw in Oklahoma. I sat through a couple of hurricanes, in one of the cases I actually watched from a window (not the smartest thing but the wind was blowing from the other side of the house, so no wind or debris hitting the window) as the roof got torn off a building nearby. I also went through a lot of periods with no power for multiple days, street flooding so that you couldn't travel anywhere (where I lived was on high enough ground that I didn't have flooding issues), my brother who lived a couple of miles away lost a car to flooding, etc.

Tornados are weird. I've driven through the aftermath where you'll have a house completely destroyed, and the houses on either side look perfect — just a little bit of debris (maybe some 2-3" slivers of wood) might be on their lawn close to the house that was destroyed. Tornados typically cut a "swath" through an area, it likely will be an F5 (extremely uncommon) if the width of that swath is more than a few hundred feet or the length as much as a mile; so they will take out parts of a neighborhood, if even that much. Anything below F3 is unlikely to do more than take a roof off a building. Now, I'd likely not live in Moore, OK (a couple of F5 tornado strikes in the last 20 years) or in a trailer park anywhere in "tornado alley" and tempt fate, but as a general rule it is unlikely your house would ever be hit.
