51 dead after tornado chews through Okla. City
The Oklahoma Medical Examiner’s Office says 51 people have been killed by a tornado that hit suburban Oklahoma City on Monday afternoon. Spokeswoman Amy Elliott says the death toll is expected to rise and that children are among the dead. Rescue workers clawed through mountains of rubble in a frantic search for survivors -- including dozens of children -- after a mile-wide tornado flattened an Oklahoma City suburb, destroying two schools and scores of homes and buildings.
