At least two dead after tornadoes tear through Great Plains
At least two people were killed in Oklahoma Monday as tornadoes spawned by a strong series of storms hit the Great Plains, destroying homes, overturning vehicles and stripping the bark from trees, reports Fox News.
According to the source, officials in Garvin County, south of Oklahoma City, a man believed to be in his upper 70s died when a tornado hit a home near Wynnewood. Just to the southeast, in Johnston County, the sheriff's office said a man was killed by a tornado near Connerville.
The Oklahoma Office of Emergency Management reported the storms destroyed a radio station building in Coal County and an undetermined number of homes in Murray, Garvin and Johnston counties. Murray County Emergency Management Director Gary Ligon said one person was injured.
