The Grove in Orlando is the best family hotel that I have been to. The staff and customer service are amazing here. Always smiling and willing to help. This hotel is like a home away from Home . Very spacious for big families and big groups. They have two and three bedroom suites, amazing restaurants, pools, and a market on site. Rates start from $200 a night during the off season and up to $400 during the high season. Access to the waterpark is included with your stay. And truly the waterpark is the best park. They have poolside service, a lazy river and lots of lifeguards standing by. The only downfall I see of this property is that is so big so there's a lot of walking. But overall it's an amazing hotel. Very close to the Disney parks and plenty of room for families. You can even do groceries and cook and if you want to. This is my go to resort when in the area. I highly recommend it.

safari water park the grove

What's better than cheap? FREE, all access water park INCLUDED in your Grove Resort stay. Enjoy water slides, relax in the (heated) lazy River, fire water canons, swim in their centralized (heated) pool, and splash in an aquatic playground area targeted for younger kids. Perfect for families and vacationers of ALL ages. Our fam of 6 never had an issue scoring complimentary towels, reclining sun chairs, tables, and/or umbrellas. You can even pay $30 for 30m or $55 for 1 hr to tackle the Flow Rider, a super cool surf simulator. In addition to a bar/grill onsite, they pipe in cool, upbeat tunes to enjoy throughout the park. At times, this includes COVID/CDC safety announcements.

This Family-Friendly Resort Near Orlando Offers the Perfect Blend of Luxury and Fun in the Sun

S ometimes, the perfect trip comes along that offers everything you want and need. The kind of vacation where there’s no need to drive anywhere at all, because everything is right there at your fingertips: world-class dining options, a sun-soaked water park, palatial swimming pools, fishing and boating and a packed schedule of kids’ activities. Well-equipped suites (each with a fully stocked kitchen, washer and dryer) add unparalleled convenience to days of breezy family fun.

Our family of five recently checked in to The Grove Resort and Water Park Orlando for a much-needed getaway and found exactly that.

The Property

Originally developed in 2008 but never occupied, the resort was purchased in 2014 by new owners who completed $200 million in renovations before opening the property in phases from 2017 to 2022. The resort feels lively, fresh, and new, and is buzzing with vacationing families. Nestled on 106 acres along beautiful Lake Austin, The Grove offers 878 spacious suites and an array of walkable onsite amenities. A significant draw is the resort’s $20 million Surfari Water Park (which features a FlowRider double surf simulator, dual water slides, a 700-foot lazy river and a unique splash pool for young children), as well as multiple bars and restaurants, the serene Escape Spa, an arcade with glow-in-the-dark mini golf, and a 24-hour fitness center.

Located just six miles from Walt Disney World (here’s how to make a family trip worth the cost if you’re planning to go) and 14 miles southwest of downtown Orlando, the property offers daily transportation to the region’s theme parks, including the Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, EPCOT, Universal Orlando, and Sea World. The resort is also located near Winter Garden, a lovely city with a charming historic downtown and a legendary open-air farmers market each Saturday.

Accommodations

accommodation rooms at the grove resort and water park orlando

The Grove has two-bedroom and three-bedroom suites, all of which offer a screened-in balcony with expansive views. We opted for a three-bedroom, three-bath superior suite, and found ourselves in a stunning fifth-floor unit overlooking the Surfari Water Park. At 1,544 square feet, our suite featured a spacious living room with a foldout couch, a large dining area, full kitchen, washer and dryer, large windows and three magnificently clean, comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms. The master bedroom held a king-sized bed and a cozy separate seating area surrounded by windows (perfect for curling up with a book), as well as a huge bathroom with two sinks, a soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, a safe for valuables, and a sizable closet.

When we first opened the door to our suite, my kids ran in and found three large stuffed animals (two Minnie Mouse dolls and a Mickey Mouse doll) waiting for them on the couch, alongside a generous selection of much-appreciated complimentary snacks. The washer and dryer were invaluable; I was able to pack light and wash clothes as we went, including our wet bathing suits each day. And another perk that made our vacation fabulous: the discreet pull-down blackout shades on every window that allowed our family to sleep in much later than we’re used to.

The location of our corner unit was fantastic, and I highly recommend requesting a suite near the water park. It allowed us to effortlessly take the elevator directly down to the water park and back to our suite in minutes. We were able to throw on our flip-flops and bathing suits and walk down to the park at a moment’s notice. Complimentary towels are available at the pools and water park, too. As someone used to packing a bag filled with kids’ stuff everywhere we go, it was a relief to walk out of our suite empty-handed and focus instead on enjoying the resort.

Water Activities at the Resort

View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Grove Resort & Water Park (@thegroveresort)

The water activities at The Grove are excellent. We spent every day at Surfari Water Park, splashing in the water in the kids’ area with two water slides, floating in the vast pools, relaxing on the lazy river (where we watched delighted swimmers descending down two giant water slides) and watching surfers on the FlowRider double surf simulator. DJ Rey Rico kept the party going each afternoon at the water park with a fun-filled set.

One of our best decisions was opting for a VIP poolside cabana, which came complete with a table and chairs, reserved lounge chairs, a cooler with ice, bottles of water, and a large flat-screen TV. This provided us with welcome shade, privacy, poolside food and beverage service, and a solar-powered safe for valuables attached to the cooler with an internal USB hookup for charging our phones. This was a considerable asset, as it gave us a cool, safe place to stash our phones each time we went in the water.

Separate from the water park, The Springs Pools are also lovely. With three sizable, heated swimming pools and a hot tub, a bonus was a kids’ pool with splash features that became shaded from the sun each afternoon, creating a pool option for kids to play freely out of direct sunlight.

Then there’s the phenomenal Lake Austin Pier, with water activities that include guided pontoon tours, swan paddle boats, kayaks, fishing charters, and catch-and-release fishing off the dock. We loved strolling on the dock and watching wildlife just steps away from our resort. We saw a four-foot alligator, turtles, catfish and bass.

Onsite Amenities

Our days were filled with stopping by the fabulous Kids Activity Center for one of the many daily scheduled activities or just to color and socialize with other children. My kids had a blast creating their own stuffed animals (a dinosaur, racoon, and sloth) in the Build-A-Buddy Workshop, and they also loved creating colorful artwork and hanging it on the walls. At the arcade – dubbed Flip Flop’s Family Fun Center – we played several rounds of glow-in-the-dark mini golf and arcade games. We won prizes and walked out satisfied.

The Grove offers a one-mile jogging path around the perimeter of the resort (which my husband loved) and a 24-hour fitness center. The onsite Escape Spa offers a retreat for adults: a private sauna, lounges and a full menu of spa treatments ranging from a signature Himalayan Salt Stones Massage to a Vitamin C Infusion Facial. The gift shop located adjacent to Alfresco Market offers some alluring shopping filled with Lilly Pulitzer prints and fashions (including some adorable beach coverups). I had to remind myself not to spend all our money in the shop.

Rather than sticking to a tight schedule, I grew to love waking up in the morning and just walking out the door with the kids. That’s the beauty of a walkable resort – there was always something exciting to be found. One morning, we walked to the dock and watched a fishing tournament; on another morning, we caught a special poolside wildlife presentation from Gatorland. We would stop to play in white sand dotted with palm trees, then continue walking to breakfast or the water park.

Dining at the Resort

There are multiple easy, fun dining options at The Grove. The property has three restaurants, plus a market with a bakery and coffee bar, grocery items, and fast to-go items. Valencia Restaurant offers an upscale dining experience, while The Springs Bar and Grill brings a casual outdoor option to those enjoying the water. Longboard Bar and Grill serves guests at Surfari Water Park, while Alfresco Market is a satisfying stop for fine Italian coffee, a quick croissant, or sandwich.

Valencia Restaurant was our favorite. It’s sophisticated while importantly staying very family-friendly. On our second evening at the resort, we dined on grilled salmon served over a Kashi bowl of quinoa, brown rice, dried cranberries, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and candy cane beets that were all drizzled with a miso vinaigrette. The blackened mahi-mahi tacos are delicious and come stuffed with a generous portion of fish, mango coleslaw, and roasted garlic aioli. The calamari was also delectable, served with fried shishito peppers, marinara sauce and a creamy lemon remoulade for dipping. I also discovered my new favorite drink: Valencia’s signature pineapple mule made with Stoli vodka, ginger beer, lime juice and pineapple juice.

At Longboard Bar and Grill at the water park, we enjoyed service in our cabana and noshed on Grove-smoked pork nachos, Cuban sandwiches, and guacamole and chips. Refreshing mango and pina colada smoothies rounded out the meal. A coconut mojito served in a specialty bucket was an end-of-day treat, made with fresh muddled mint leaves, Cruzan coconut rum, lime, simple syrup, and soda.

The live acoustic music on the patio at The Springs Bar and Grill (featuring a rotating schedule of talented musicians) brought an earthy island vibe to the outdoor deck with food prepared in the adjacent Valencia kitchen. Meanwhile, at Alfresco Market, we enjoyed morning Illy espressos and stocked up on staples for our suite such as eggs, fruit, and cereal. We indulged in piping-hot margherita and bianca takeout pizzas from the market in our room one evening after a long day. Another morning, we polished off a fresh cinnamon roll from the market’s bakery.

Whether you’re four or 40, there’s nothing quite like the thrill of zipping down a waterslide on a hot summer day, feeling the rush of adrenaline that comes with every twist, turn and drop, then plummeting into a shallow pool, climbing out, and doing it all over again. Waterparks are some of life’s most nostalgic places, where sore feet and sunburns are the mark of a day well spent.

From innovative theming to record-breaking attractions, here are 10 of America’s best waterparks.

Universal’s Volcano Bay | Orlando, Florida

Schlitterbahn New Braunfels | New Braunfels, Texas

Claiming the title of “World’s Best Waterpark,” the Schlitterbahn park in New Braunfels, Texas, packs more than 51 attractions into 70 acres. The name nods to the area’s German heritage, with dedicated sections housing slides, coasters, rivers and pools interspersed through natural landscaping.

Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park | Orlando, Florida

No one does a theme quite like Disney, and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park is no exception. Telling the story of a legendary storm that struck a tropical island, the focal point of the park is a shrimp boat stuck on top of Mt. Mayday. The surrounding 56 acres are filled with waterslides, a surf pool and the kid-friendly Ketchakiddee Creek playground.

LEGOLAND California Resort | Carlsbad, California

Bare feet and LEGOs finally go hand-in-hand at LEGOLAND California’s waterpark. Interspersed with the park’s waterslides and wave pools are activities like the “Imagination Station,” where kids (and let’s be honest, adults) can build bridges and dams with DUPLO bricks, build a boat to race or build a LEGO raft in the lazy river.

Noah’s Ark Waterpark | Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin

Wisconsin Dells may be known as the “Waterpark Capital of the World,” but one rises above the rest with an impressive record: it claims “America’s Largest Waterpark.” Noah’s Ark Waterpark is often a pioneer in water rides, introducing a glowing slide this year (Chameleon) to enjoy alongside the world’s largest king cobra slide (Raja) and the country’s first nearly vertical looping slide (Scorpion’s Tail).

In a town called Santa Claus, a holiday-themed amusement park just makes sense.

Holiday World and Splashin’ Safari promise value, with one ticket admitting entry to both parks and free soft drinks and sunscreen offered throughout.

Great Wolf Lodge | Multiple Locations

We’d be remiss not to mention the largest chain of indoor waterparks in the country, Great Wolf Lodge . Contrary to most others on the list, these parks stay open year-round for aquatic adventure no matter the weather. From California all the way to Massachusetts, guests can enjoy wave pools, slides and lazy rivers all day long, then retire to their resort-style accommodations without ever leaving the property. 2023 will welcome two new properties: Great Wolf Lodge Maryland and Great Wolf Lodge Poconos .

Cowabunga Bay | Multiple Locations

nevada reopens water parks as part of phase 2 reopening amid covid 19 pandemic

The Utah counterpart has 11 colorful slides and a dedicated area for little adventurers.

African Safari

The term safari typically evokes images of dusty African savannahs and bouncy 4×4 rides in pursuit of the iconic Big Five—lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and African buffalo. While this classic game-drive ritual has its place, a different breed of water-based adventures is gaining momentum.

In Africa, swapping wheels for hulls can save time. In Rwanda, for instance, traveling aboard the Kivu Queen uBuranga , the first motorized houseboat on Lake Kivu, cuts travel time for gorilla trekking jaunts in the Volcanoes National Park or searching for chimpanzees in the Nyungwe Forest National Park. Both would take many hours by car. Plus it’s just a much more pleasant way to travel.

In other parts of the world, the only way to see marine wildlife is by boat. “Cruises are great for visiting more areas and seeing a variety of landscapes,” Allie Almario, the Galapagos and Amazon safari expert at Philadelphia-based Premier Tours, told Robb Report. “ Going by boat in the Amazon, for example, allows you to navigate the tributaries easily for access into some of its most remote areas.”

We’ve curated our favorite water trips to animal-laden lands, whether it’s traveling in a houseboat or go-anywhere expedition vessel, drifting along rivers or cruising to the world’s most remote polar regions. Accommodations range from intimate five-star island hideaways to brand-new superyachts to more communal, high-end river boats. What they share: A wildlife-focused itinerary that not only provides opportunities to witness water-dwelling species but also the diversity of fish and underwater mammals and wide-ranging bird species, all from the comfort of a luxurious floating camp.

Here are 12 of our favorites.

Botswana, Sitatunga Island

safari water park the grove

The latest in Great Plains’s water-based reserve collection, this private island camp is surrounded by waterways can be accessed only by boat or helicopter. Sitatunga Island blends traditional safaris with boating, thereby elevating the freedom and peacefulness of observing the Okavango Delta’s primal residents. Gliding along in the 22-footer motorboat or mokoro—a traditional dugout canoe—covers more ground, while delving deeper into the landscape. In the new five-star resort, four opulent wooden suites (one a very large double) are equipped with poster beds, open screened sides that offer exceptional wildlife viewing, espresso machines, wine and liquor, plunge pools, and Peloton bikes. Each suite also has a professional camera for capturing hippos, elephants, crocodiles, and hundreds of exotic bird species. Add to that gourmet meals, exceptional service, and halcyon sunsets over the Okavango River, and this could be the most exclusive water safari in Botswana. Surrounding camps from other providers such as Jao, Xigera, and Vumbura, also embrace a similar ethos, combining land and water safaris. Best time: low season (October through February). Cost via Premier Tours : $13,690 per person, including all internal flights and helicopter trips to and from the island. Travel to/from Botswana not included.  

Costa Rica, Cocos Island, ‘SuRi’

safari water park the grove

Cocos Island, flung 340 miles off Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, has lush mountainous landscapes, countless waterfalls, intriguing cloud forests, and an ocean full of incredible diving. It’s so wild, in fact, that it inspired Jurassic Park. While you won’t find any T-Rexes, park rangers keep an eye on the several species that call the island home. But most of the wildlife is in the ocean, including marine mammals such as humpback whales, sea lions, and bottlenose dolphins. The shark-infested UNESCO waters are best explored aboard the 208-foot explorer SuRi , which offering a nature-themed itinerary from diving with marine biologists alongside the sharks, manta rays, and turtles to kayaking with dolphins to secluded beach hikes among vast bird species. Outfitter Cookson Adventures  also offers hands-on involvement with conservation projects, such as geotagging whale sharks. Best time: June-December. Cost without airfare: Private charter. from $350,000 per week.

Antarctica, ‘Hanse Explorer’

safari water park the grove

Uninhabited by humans but filled with wildlife, the vast white continent provides an incomparable polar experience. Bypassing a long cruise through Drake Passage, EYOS offers the option to fly in to join the 156-foot, ice-classed Hanse Explorer for traversing the continent’s most remote waters. The vessel’s six staterooms allow a group 12 to venture into the ice with expert guides. Penguin colonies, whales breaching across the yacht’s bow, and herds of seals offer some of the best polar experiences available. After excursions and, of course, the requisite polar plunge, guests can warm up in the Finnish sauna and then enjoy more sea views from the sundeck Jacuzzi. Best time: November-March. Cost without airfare: Private charter from $235,000 per week. 

Galapagos Islands, ‘Stella Maris’

safari water park the grove

Straddling the equator, the Galapagos Islands promise year-round, water-based wildlife adventures. The volcanic archipelago is home to species found nowhere else on Earth, from blue-footed boobies and giant land iguanas to Galapagos penguins and hundreds more. A visit aboard superyacht  Stella Maris will let any visitor realize how Charles Darwin came up with his theory of evolution by natural selection. The 164-footer has seven well-appointed cabins for relaxing between island visits. Cruising amid the wild things—which change dramatically from island to island—offers a slew of activities, from trekking alongside giant tortoises to tender rides through mangroves to hanging out underwater with boisterous sea lions and hammerhead sharks. The yacht’s guides understand the diversity of the islands, unveiling each creature’s history. Best time: December-May. Cost without airfare: Aqua Expeditions can arrange a full-yacht charter from $218.500 per week.

Norway, Svalbard, ‘Scintilla Maris’

safari water park the grove

Frozen for months but passable from April to August under 24-hour daylight, this archipelago is abundant with Arctic wildlife. The unusual 150-foot Scintilla Maris , recently converted from a Damen trawler vessel, is the ideal launch pad for Svalbard. Its seafaring capabilities let it weave into the ice floes of this archipelago. Wildlife highlights include seals, reindeer, arctic fox, and the main attraction, the polar bear. They can be viewed up close from the Zodiacs or from heated seating in the yacht’s dedicated observation area, 39 feet above the water. The boat’s vibration-free hybrid propulsion extends the comfort while in electric-only mode, creating a tranquil environment for wildlife encounters. These waters are also a crossroads for multiple whale species, making whale watching one of the highlights. Best time: May-August. Cost without airfare: Pelorus-arranged private charter starting at $160,000 per week. 

Australia, Great Barrier Reef, ‘Beluga’

safari water park the grove

The world’s largest coral-reef system reveals an aquatic ecosystem that is best explored by water, thanks to 9,000 species below the surface. Though the Great Barrier Reef is experiencing significant environmental challenges, much of it remains a treasure trove for snorkelers and divers. The 113-foot Beluga takes up to 10 guests throughout June and July to the only place one can swim with dwarf minke whales. The yacht has a 40-foot chase boat, aptly named Minke, with ten sets of dive gear. The crow’s nest at the top of the yacht is the perfect place for more whale watching under way. Best time: November-April. Cost without airfare: Ocean Alliance charter from $75,000 per week. 

Borneo, Sabah, ‘Kudanil’

safari water park the grove

Teeming with life, Sabah’s east coast is one of Southeast Asia’s top wildlife-watching destinations. Superyachts aren’t just for the ocean here: An animal-centric itinerary onboard the 164-foot Kudanil , cruising into the navigable Kinabatangan River, presents some of the world’s rarest species. The river bank includes wild orangutans, the almost extinct Borneo pygmy elephant, the proboscis monkey, and many reptiles and birds. Back in the ocean, as a dive and surf vessel, Kudanil can extend the trip, heading to Sipadan for world-class scuba diving. Best time: May-October. Cost without airfare: Pelorus -arranged private charter from $140,000 per week. 

Alaska Inside Passage, ‘La Datcha’

safari water park the grove

Along the scenic, remote Inside Passage, wildlife encounters in Alaska are the norm, from wild mink, brown bears fishing for salmon, and harbor seals to pods of orcas and humpback whales. The 252-foot expedition yacht La Datcha offers flexible itineraries through these waters, focusing on the wildlife but also showing the best of the fjords, dramatic island bays, and remote areas that would be otherwise inaccessible except for an explorer vessel of this caliber. Its designated expedition room is filled with specialized gear for onshore and tender excursions. La Datcha ‘s helideck and enclosed hanger also allow exceptional wildlife-viewing far above water levels. Best time: June-August. Cost without airfare: Private charter from $940,000 per week.

Botswana, Chobe River, ‘Zambezi Queen’

safari water park the grove

Winding through Africa’s wilderness is the Chobe River, this tributary of the Zambezi gives a different perspective of life on the plains. Especially if you’re aboard the Mantis Collection’s 138-foot Zambezi Queen houseboat. If it isn’t impressive enough to see Africa’s wild creatures on land, this vessel lets you wake to leopards drinking and elephants bathing from one of the 14 suites’ private balconies. Tenders bring the action closer for water-based game viewing and, if you’re so inclined, the vessel offers angling for local gamefish. A birder’s paradise, this area of Botswana is home to over 450 bird species. After a day of wildlife spotting, the vessel offers gourmet African-themed dinners. Best time: June-October. Cost without airfare: Luxury suite (per person, per night sharing) $932.

Botswana, Chobe River, ‘Chobe Princess’

safari water park the grove

Mantis also offers smaller vessels within its portfolio for a more intimate experience of the Chobe River. Moored on the Namibian side, Chobe Princess is part of a trio of similar houseboats available exclusively for families or private parties, with two offering four suites and five in the third. Cruising along the Chobe National Park, the floating safari provides ideal viewing of this game-dense area, with fishing, photographic safaris, birding, and cultural tours. The boat also has a plunge pool and beautiful views. Best time: June-October. Cost without airfare: Luxury suite (per person, per night sharing) $716.

Peru, Amazon, ‘Delfin I’

safari water park the grove

Aboard the 67-foot Delfin 1 , eight guests gain exclusive access to the world’s largest protected flooded forest—Peru’s Pacaya Samiria National Reserve—accessible only by boat during the rainy season. Navigating through the watery wilderness, the basin’s showstopper is the mystical pink river dolphin found only in these waters. From the shaded observation deck or one of the four plush private-suite terraces, the land also reveals sloths, capybaras, and pygmy marmosets. Night-time safaris via tender reveal the jungle’s nocturnal transformation with black caimans, bats, frogs, and other nocturnal creatures lining the shores. Delfin Cruises partners with local guides to benefit Amazonian communities. Best time: November-May. Cost without airfare: 5 days/4nights, Deluxe suite, $6,500. 

Rwanda, Lake Kivu, ‘Kivu Queen uBuranga’

safari water park the grove

The Kivu Queen uBuranga has recently pioneered motorized yachting on Lake Kivu’s waters. The lake is a gateway to Rwanda’s kaleidoscopic biodiversity, though it won’t have the big game like northern Botswana. Besides the overarching sense of tranquility, exploring by boat considerably reduces travel times for gorilla trekking jaunts in the Volcanoes National Park or searching for chimpanzees in the Nyungwe Forest National Park. Going by boat is also much more pleasant than having to wander on dusty, remote backroads. Onboard, one can relax in one of the 10 cabins, kick back in the lounge, or unwind in the wellness center. Best time June-September: Cost without airfare: Mantis -arranged travel: 2/3 night stays (per person/per night/sharing) from $1,500.

Tornadoes leave a trail of destruction in Oklahoma, communities begin to assess damage

By Lucia Suarez Sang

Updated on: April 29, 2024 / 12:33 PM EDT / CBS News

Multiple tornadoes tore across Oklahoma on Saturday night, leaving a wide trail of destruction, leveling homes and buildings and knocking out power for tens of thousands of residents and businesses. At least four people were killed in the state, including a child.

The region remained on high alert for severe weather after thunderstorms and tornados rolled through Friday and Saturday from Texas to the Great Lakes. About 106 tornadoes were detected in six states on Friday, with Nebraska and Iowa the hardest hit , officials said.

Officials in Pottawattamie County, in southwest Iowa by the Nebraska border, said one resident was killed and three others hurt by severe weather that hit Friday.

In Oklahoma, a tornado ripped through Holdenville, a small town of about 5,000 people, around 11 p.m. Saturday night, destroying or damaging several buildings in its path. Hughes County Emergency Medical Services said Sunday morning that at least four people were injured — three with major injuries — and two people died. The victims were an adult and a minor, it said, but did not provide any additional information.

On Sunday morning, Gov. J. Kevin Stitt declared an emergency disaster for 12 counties, including Carter, Cotton, Garfield, Hughes, Kay, Lincoln, Love, Murray, Okfuskee, Oklahoma, Payne, and Pontotoc. This will allow the state to provide the necessary help for these communities. He said in a video posted on  Facebook  that he plans to visit the impacted communities to assess the damage.

"You just can't believe the destruction," Stitt said. "It seems like every business downtown has been destroyed."

Stitt on Sunday spoke with President Biden, who "offered the full support of the federal government," the White House said in a statement.

In nearby Sulphur, a small town of about 5,000 people 80 miles south of Oklahoma City, at least two tornadoes were reported, while another hit Marietta and traveled directly over Interstate 35. One   person was killed near Marietta, according to the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management.

Tornadoes in Sulphur and Marrietta were rated at least EF3 based on preliminary survey results, the National Weather Service said Sunday.

m1.jpg

Videos and photos emerging on social media early Sunday morning showed heavy damage across Sulphur, including scattered bricks, wooden beams and toppled trees. Buildings in the downtown area had blown-out windows and missing walls across a 15-block radius.

Red Cross Oklahoma said it was opening a shelter in Sulphur and was in contact with officials to help with the immediate needs of affected residents throughout the state.

Communities in Garfield, Grant, Kay, Payne and several other counties in Oklahoma also suffered damage to homes and other structures, officials said.

The National Weather Service in Norman said early Sunday that flash flooding was now the primary threat after the tornado warnings were lifted.

Nearly 33,000 people in Oklahoma were without power on Sunday morning, according to  poweroutage.us , which tracks electric utility outages. In Texas, nearly 67,000 customers were without power.

In Kansas, the National Weather Service confirmed a "large and dangerous tornado" touched the ground near the town of Howard on Saturday afternoon. 

The National Weather Service confirmed Saturday that multiple tornadoes touched down in at least three North Texas counties the day before, including three tornadoes in Navarro County. Two of them were EF1 tornadoes with wind speeds more than 100 miles per hour. The third EF0 tornado touched down north of Frost. Some homes there are leveled with trees and metal lining the area.  

The Friday night tornadoes wreaked havoc in the Midwest , particularly in Nebraska and Iowa, causing a building to collapse with dozens of people inside and destroying and damaging hundreds of homes.

The sounds of chainsaws filled the air on Saturday in the Elkhorn neighborhood of Omaha, a city of 485,000 people with a metropolitan area population of about 1 million.

Severe Weather Midwest

"We watched it touch down about 200 yards over there," Elkhorn resident Pat Woods told CBS News. "And then we went to get shelter and we came, but we could hear it going through. When we came back up, our fence was gone and we looked over to the northwest and the whole neighborhood is gone."

Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen on Sunday issued emergency declarations for Douglas, Lancaster and Washington Counties.

The National Weather Service was still evaluating the number and strength of the twisters.

Nearly 47 million people are at risk for severe weather Sunday from east Texas northward into the upper Mississippi River Valley.
