Moore and severe storms
Moore has been hit by two top-rated tornadoes in recent memory. The F5 tornado of 3 May 1999 tracked through Bridge Creek and Moore, and the EF5 tornado of 20 May 2013 struck south Oklahoma City, Newcastle and Moore and killed 24 people. Severe weather season in the OKC area runs from March to June, with a smaller peak in October, and hail and straight-line wind come around more often than tornadoes do.
For garage doors that means:
- Wide double doors without bracing can be pushed in by strong wind.
- Hail can dent every section of a thin steel door in one storm.
- Power outages leave openers without a battery backup stuck.
Choosing a stronger door
No garage door can promise to survive a direct tornado. But for the hail and wind that come every spring, a better door helps. If you are replacing a door in Moore, ask about:
- The door's wind rating and whether bracing or struts are included.
- Steel gauge: a lower number means thicker, more dent-resistant steel.
- Insulated, multi-layer construction, which is stiffer than single-layer steel.
- An opener with battery backup.
After a storm
Do not run the opener on a bent or crooked door. Keep everyone away from loose cables and bent tracks. Take photos of the whole door and close-ups of the damage before anything is repaired, and contact your insurer if you plan to claim. Then call us.
Permits in Moore
Moore is its own city, so Oklahoma City permit rules do not cover a Moore address. If a new door changes the opening, or an opener needs new wiring, ask the company about permits in Moore or check with the City of Moore before work starts. Ask any company what licenses and insurance it carries.

Yes. Call or send the form with your ZIP code and a description, and a technician who covers Moore will phone you back.
Can a garage door be made tornado proof?
