U.S: 22 dead in Oklahoma, Missouri tornadoes Mon. May 12, 2008 02:00 am.- By Bonny Apunyu. - (SomaliNet) Severe storms produced tornadoes and high winds across sections of Missouri and Oklahoma killing least 22 people. According to authorities said, a tornado ripped through a 20-block swath of Picher, Oklahoma, late Saturday afternoon, killing at least seven people. The storm system then moved into southwest Missouri where tornadoes took the lives of at least 15 others. "We've seen homes that were completely levelled to the foundation," Oklahoma Highway Patrol George Brown said. "There are cars thrown everywhere. It looks like a bomb went off." In Missouri, 10 of the dead were killed when a twister struck near Seneca, about 30 kilometres southeast of Picher. In Arkansas, a tornado collapsed a home and a business, and there were reports of a few people trapped in buildings and cars. The storms remained active into the night as they swept eastward, with warnings abundant across a wide swath of the Plains and South.-AP News Category: World Latest Headlines Latest News Somalia: WFP welcomes Canada naval escort in Somali...
