Deadly Tornados Kill 5 in Oklahoma The worst is over for the south-central state of Oklahoma, which was hit again by deadly tornadoes that barreled through the suburbs of Oklahoma City, not far from the battered town of Moore, where a powerful twister struck 10 days ago, killing 24 people. Tornadoes hit during rush hour Friday evening, smashing cars and trucks along a major interstate. State police say hundreds of people, desperate to escape the city, drove directly into the storms. Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin said so far five people have been confirmed dead, including a woman and her baby daughter, who were found near their overturned vehicle along the highway west of the city. Fallin said she was "heartsick" that Moore, struck by a powerful tornado on May 20, could have been hit again. Although no twister was confirmed to have hit Moore, there was heavy wind damage. The storms then moved east, passing through the city of Saint Louis in the neighboring state of Missouri. There have been no reports of deaths in that city, but the extent of damage in the storms` path will not be fully known until sunrise Saturday. __________________________________________________________________ [1]http://www.voanews.com/content/deadly-tornados-kill-5-in-oklahoma/16 73176.html References 1. http://www.voanews.com/content/deadly-tornados-kill-5-in-oklahoma/1673176.html
