It’s commonly believed that North America was first settled long ago by a group of people we now refer to as the Paleo-Indians.

They came to North America sometime between 13-11,000 BC from the far east of modern-day Russia, from which point they crossed the Bering Strait into the westernmost tip of what is now Alaska.

The Paleo-Indians were hunter-gatherers who spread out all over North America and settled wherever they found ample hunting grounds.

The earliest records of Paleo-Indian presence within Oklahoma go back to sometime around 11,000 years ago, with evidence of their presence coming from unearthed spear tips and campgrounds.

Many building met the new codes even before they took effect, because many people know just how high the stakes are when it comes to twister, with an average of 50 hitting Oklahoma each year during its March to August tornado season.In May 2013, twenty-four people were killed and 240 injured when a top-rated tornado devastated Moore, a city of about 55,000 south of Oklahoma City. Some 2,400 buildings were damaged or destroyed, including Plaza Towers Elementary School, where seven children were killed.
