LANGSTON, Okla. (AP) — Former Langston University President Ernest Holloway says he plans to rebuild his tornado-destroyed home.
A twister rated by the National Weather Service as an EF-1 destroyed Holloway's home and another in Langston Saturday night. Two other homes were damaged.
Holloway had only recently moved back into the home after living in Oklahoma City for three years and says he will rebuild in the same neighborhood.
The weather service says the twister had winds of 90 to 100 miles per hour. The damage path is 150 yards wide and less than a half mile long.
