At least five people were reported dead Monday night in Oklahoma after severe weather caused tornadoes to form across parts of the southern Plains, with some touching down with deadly force in the Oklahoma City area. The storm cut a path of destruction that flipped vehicles over on roads and flattened or splintered houses. In news footage from KFOR-TV in Norman, some houses appeared to have simply been shaven from their foundations. A video also showed a tornado rapidly crossing a highway, dwarfing speeding cars as it continued along a grassy field. The Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management told The Associated Press that two people were killed Oklahoma City and that three were killed in Cleveland County, south of the city. The agency did not immediately have additional details, including how the people died. Officials also reported that at least 58 others suffered injuries throughout Oklahoma because of severe weather. Two of those injured were in critical condition. In some neighborhoods in Oklahoma City, emergency workers were going door to door to make sure everyone was accounted for. The severe weather also hit parts of Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri.
