One dead, several injured as tornadoes tear through Oklahoma

One person was killed and several others were injured Wednesday as tornadoes ripped through Tulsa, Oklahoma during the evening rush hour commute.

Tulsa County Sheriff’s Capt. Billy McKelvey said the one person was killed in a mobile home park near suburban Sand Springs, which was almost destroyed amid severe weather. It was not clear whether it was a tornado or straight-line winds that hit the park.

Local media reports at least 16 people were treated for injuries in the Norman Regional Health System in Oklahoma.

Tornadoes were also spotted elsewhere in Oklahoma, as well as Arkansas, but not injuries were reported from those.

A small tornado hit parts of Moore, an Oklahoma City suburb where 24 people died when an EF5 tornado hit the town in 2013. Some twisters touched down in the Ozark Mountains of northwestern Arkansas.
