At least 91 people, including 20 children, are feared killed by a huge tornado which tore through Oklahoma City suburbs, officials in the US state say. Worst hit was Moore, south of the city, where neighbourhoods were flattened and schools destroyed by winds of up to 200mph (320km/h). About 120 people are being treated in hospitals. President Barack Obama has declared a major disaster in Oklahoma. He also ordered the federal authorities to join in the search and recovery efforts which are continuing throughout the night. Monday's twister hit Moore, a suburb of about 55,000 people, and remained on the ground for about 45 minutes. The Oklahoma chief medical examiner's office said at least 20 children were among the 91 dead. ------
Really tragic news, especially since it struck a school. Could end up as one of the most devastating tornadoes in recent US history. |
