Severe storms hit Oklahoma, injuring at least 11 and leaving thousands without power

NPR  

Severe storms hit Oklahoma, injuring at least 11 and leaving thousands without power toggle caption KOCO/AP OKLAHOMA CITY — Severe storms and tornadoes battered Oklahoma early Sunday, tossing cars and ripping roofs off buildings in the middle of the night and leaving tens of thousands of homes and businesses without power. Very large trees blocking roadways.” Oklahoma City Fire Department spokesman Scott Douglas told the AP that heavy rain and the lingering threat of tornadoes in the early morning darkness complicated early search and rescue efforts. A handful of shelters — including one opened at a casino by the American Red Cross — are available for displaced residents or those without power, the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management said. The National Weather Service office in Norman also issued urgent warnings, posting on social media: “If you’re in the path of this storm, take cover immediately!” Parts of Oklahoma remained at risk for more heavy rainfall and thunderstorms later Sunday.
