Tornadoes, Gusty Winds Leave Damage Across Central US

Extensive damage has been reported in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas after a line of severe thunderstorms spawned several tornadoes late Sunday night.

At least 12 injuries have been attributed to the storms, and thousands were without power Monday morning as crews worked to clean up the mess the severe weather left behind.

One of the hardest-hit communities was Norman, Oklahoma, which sustained damage after a large tornado was reported late Sunday evening.

Photos and videos of the damage in Norman showed a car flipped upside down next to a significantly damaged home with its roof shredded. Another photo of damage in southeastern Norman showed the roof of a home torn apart and part of the garage collapsed.

‘We’ve had several homes, businesses and schools that appear to have some damage from the storm,’ Norman City Police Chief Kevin Foster said at a press conference on Monday morning.
