Five People Dead, Dozens Injured as Tornadoes Rip Through Oklahoma

(NECN/CNN) - Officials in Oklahoma say there could be more victims from yesterday's violent storms, but weather is hampering search efforts.

Heavy fog is making it hard for rescuers to see downed power lines and other hazards.


Four Oklahoma City neighborhoods are closed off because of gas leaks, downed power lines and debris.

The storms that tore through the southern Plains left at least five people dead and dozens injured.

The National Weather Service estimates that 10 tornadoes touched down in Oklahoma.

The storms also did some damage in Kansas, but no injuries were reported.

Ed Murray reports.
