Tornados Hit Oklahoma

In neighborhoods in Oklahoma City, emergency workers were going door to door to make sure everyone was accounted for. The severe weather also hit parts of Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri.
In Cleveland County, a tornado with winds of 103 m.p.h. touched down about 4 miles southeast of Norman, then crossed a highway. Roofs were blown off and power lines were reported damaged. In Kay County, near Braman, officials reported that a tornado flipped over cars as it sped through. Storm spotters in Noble County reported debris in the air that had been swept up by tornadoes.  At least five people were reported dead Monday night in Oklahoma after severe weather caused tornadoes to form across parts of the southern Plains, with some touching down with deadly force in the Oklahoma City area.
