250 boats destroyed as tornado hits marina in Oklahoma

Little River Marina in Lake Thunderbird State Park, Oklahoma, has been closed indefinitely following a tornado hit

Spare a thought for the owners of these boats who felt the true power of Mother Nature on Monday after the marina they were berthed in was struck by a tornado.

Little River Marina in Lake Thunderbird State Park, in Cleveland County, Oklahoma, will be closed “indefinitely” while authorities assess the damage to see if anything can be salvaged.

Bob Davis who has owned the marina for 20 years told News OK, “It was a direct hit. The whole marina is wrapped in a cluster. I can’t even identify one dock from another.”

The marina, worth in the region of $2m, and upwards of 250 boats were destroyed.
