Power lines were torn, trees toppled, and homes and other buildings badly damaged or destroyed. Meteorologists predict more storms with a chance of producing tornadoes and hail are expected. 2 dead as severe storms, tornadoes move through central U.S.:
COLE, Okla. — Strong storms with tornadoes and hail killed at least two people in the central U.S., injuring others, destroying homes and leaving thousands without power.
Central Oklahoma saw tornadoes, including one that raced through the communities of Shawnee and Cole. “It is reasonable to expect possibly more based on the damage that we’ve seen,” McClain County Deputy Sheriff Scott Gibbons said on NBC’s “Today Show” of the potential for additional deaths to be confirmed.
“We do not have a number of homes or businesses damaged, but we do know that significant damage occurred,” Benny Fulkerson, a spokesperson for the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management, said in a statement late Wednesday.
