Bank vault saves 24 lives, A bank vault saves 24 lives in the 2013 Oklahoma tornado, and the survivors happily post the photos on Facebook and Twitter.
14 employees and 8 customers hid out in the Tinker Federal Credit Union safe during the storm and as the walls of the bank came tumbling down around the vault, it stood against the storm.
Dena Clark posted the above photo on Facebook and wrote:
"I was one of the members in the vault yesterday. You all should be so proud of your employees! Everyone, especially Jan the branch manager, acted so heroically to keep everyone safe. I am so thankful! Our family loves TFCU!"
Check out more of the Facebook and twitter photos of the vault here at the UK Daily Mail.
The tornado was 1.3 miles wide as it moved through Moore and according to the National Weather Service, the estimated peak wind ranged from 200 to 210 mph -- which would make it an EF5 tornado.
The deadly twister did an estimated $2 billion in damage, putting it on track to be the most expensive tornado in U.S. history.
