A powerful tornado struck the outskirts of Oklahoma City on Monday, hitting at least two schools and destroying countless homes, according to local news reports.
Hardest hit appeared to be Moore, a suburb of 55,000 to the south of the city center. Local television station KFOR, from its news helicopter, showed live images of widespread debris.
“We anticipate that these storms are going to continue to build around Oklahoma,” Governor Mary Fallin told CNN as the National Weather Service urged residents to take cover.
