[SUP][SUB]Complete devastation in downtown Moore[/SUB][/SUP]

A gigantic tornado has ripped through a suburb of Oklahoma City, on the second day in a row the Midwestern state of Oklahoma has been slammed by twisters.

The "mile-wide" storm destroyed a primary school, sparked fires, and flattened homes.
Scores of primary school children are believed to be trapped under the debris, local media reported.
On Sunday, at least two people died and 21 more were injured by the tornadoes that also razed a mobile home park.
Children are being pulled alive from the wreckage of Plaza Towers Elementary School in Moore, Oklahoma, a suburb just south of Oklahoma City where the twister struck about 16:00 local time (22:00 BST) on Monday.

51 corpses so far and counting....

They say the morgue is full.

Reports are coming in that the tornado was 2 miles wide. :totalshock:

How is this possible?

Here is pic showing the tornado southwest of Moore.

Can not imagine? Went through a funnel cloud, a tornado that does not touch down, so a very weak one. This was one of the strongest. Amazing the death toll is not much higher!

Authorities now fear more than 100 could have been killed. Morgue workers said they cannot process all the bodies.
 
Update on the death count. Now the Oklahoma medical examiner says 24 died, 9 of them children. Apparently, in the chaos, some bodies were reported more than once.
 
Poor kids. Too many children die in the USA every year, horrible.
