The
first batch of severe weather in this year's tornado season has devastated an
Oklahoma mobile home park, and storms across the area damaged buildings, tore
off roofs and left debris strewn across roads. One person was killed and
several were injured. Tens of thousands of Oklahoma
residents were without electric power as officials were assessing the damage.
It was confirmed by Tulsa County
Sheriff's Capt. Billy McKelvey, that one person was killed in the mobile home
park in a Tulsa suburb, which he said could accommodate 40 to 50 trailers. . It
wasn't yet clear whether it was a tornado or straight-line winds that hit the
park. "It could have been much
worse," he added.
The Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management said it
had reports of nine people taken to hospitals. McKelvey said he believed at
least 15 were hurt.
