Video: College student records the moment EF4 tornado hit Bartlesville Hampton Inn

In a dramatic introduction to Oklahoma, a University of Kentucky student recorded the moment an EF4 tornado passed over a hotel in Bartlesville, Oklahoma.

According to Storyful, Murilo Damin Cechetti was staying with his family at a Hampton Inn in the city about 45 miles north of Tulsa. The footage shows Cechetti and his family inside the hotel, and running to take cover when the tornado sirens stopped sounding and the power went out.

Cechetti also filmed the damage in the aftermath of the hotel, including debris in the hallway and outside the front entrance.

"We were expecting the tornado two [hours] before the happening," Cechetti told Storyful. "We got the alert in our phones and soon the sirens went off in the entire hotel. So we all went downstairs toward the shelter area on the first floor. It was really windy and people were running all over. All of a sudden, both the side door and the front door exploded with the wind. We moved to the shelter on the first floor and then just heard the stomping and the wind noise."

The National Weather Service said the tornado that ripped through the town of Barnsdall and then Bartlesville was at least a low-end EF4. The tornado merged with a front-line storm and was weakened by the time it reached Bartlesville.

At least one person was killed due to the tornado in Barnsdall, and one Barnsdall community member is still missing.
