At least two dead after tornadoes tear through Oklahoma

YEREVAN, MAY 10, ARMENPRESS. At least two people were killed in Oklahoma Monday as tornadoes spawned by a strong series of storms hit the Great Plains, destroying homes, overturning vehicles and stripping the bark from trees, Fox News reported.

The Oklahoma Office of Emergency Management reported the storms destroyed a radio station building in Coal County and an undetermined number of homes in Murray, Garvin and Johnston counties. Murray County Emergency Management Director Gary Ligon said one person was injured.

Forecasters had declared a "tornado emergency" for the communities of Roff, population 725, and Hickory, population 71, though both towns were spared major damage.
