A tornado killed at least two people, destroyed a motel and devastated a mobile home park in the Oklahoma City suburb of El Reno overnight as severe weather continued to threaten the nation’s middle section Sunday.
Several people were injured and a search and rescue effort was underway in areas reduced to rubble by the Saturday twister, El Reno Mayor Matt White said.
„It’s a pretty devastating sight,“ White said. „It is very traumatic. We are all hands on deck.“
The Midwest has been hammered by scores of tornadoes and heavy storms in recent days, leaving at least nine dead and a trail of damage from high winds and flooding.
Meteorologist Rick Smith in Norman, Oklahoma, said Saturday’s suspected tornado was spawned by a powerful storm system rolling through the state.
