Tornadoes hits Oklahoma as two feared dead

Tornadoes swept across portions of the Plains on Monday, killing two people in Oklahoma including an elderly man who was inside a home that was torn apart by one of the violent storms.
An emergency management director said a man believed to be in his upper 70s died when a tornado hit a home near Wynnewood, south of Oklahoma City. The storm was considered so violent that forecasters declared a “tornado emergency” for communities in the twister’s path.
“You are in a life-threatening situation,” forecasters declared while warning the communities of Roff, population 725, and Hickory, population 71. “Flying debris will be deadly to those caught without shelter.”
Dana Lance was driving though the Pontoc County community of Roff on her way home from work Monday when the skies grew ominous, and she heard tonardo sirens and forecasters on the radio urging people in the area ot take cover.
