Devastating Oklahoma tornado kills 24
The HinduA tornado that ripped through Moore, a suburb of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on Monday afternoon left at least 24 dead, including nine children, and a trail of destruction that some survivors compared to a “war zone”. And among the victims were young children, trying to take shelter in the safest place they knew — their school.” He added that he had been in touch with Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin, Moore Mayor Glenn Lewis and promised that the Federal Emergency Management Agency would provide whatever federal assistance was required for “the hard work of recovery and rebuilding that lies ahead.” Mayor Mr. Lewis said to NBC news, “The whole city looks like a debris field. The community of 56,000 people was said to be bracing for another “long, harrowing day” on Tuesday after State medical examiners said the death toll was likely to rise further. Oklahoma, situated in what is called “Tornado Alley”, has faced similar twisters before, particularly in May 1999 when wind speeds of 480 km/hour damaged 600 homes and about 100 businesses.
