A devastating two-mile-wide
tornado touched down in Moore, a community of
41,000 people about 10 miles south of Oklahoma City yesterday afternoon Monday May 20th, killing over 90
people - including at least 20 children, with 24 more missing.
Plaza
Towers Elementary school was in the direct path of the giant twister and took a direct hit during 45 minutes of terror yesterday afternoon.
Homes, cars, a hospital and another elementary school were destroyed by
the tornado. More than 120 people are being treated at hospitals,
including about 50 children. The death toll is expected to rise.
President Barack Obama has declared a major
disaster area in Oklahoma, ordering federal aid to supplement state and
local efforts in Moore. See more photos below:
