Authorities say two people were killed and more than two dozen were injured when a tornado destroyed a motel and swept through a nearby mobile home park west of Oklahoma City.
El Reno Mayor Matt White said at a Sunday news conference that 29 people were taken to hospitals with injuries ranging from minor to critical.
Rick Smith, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Norman, says the twister hit El Reno, which is about 25 miles west of Oklahoma City, late Saturday night as a powerful storm system rolled through the state.
White says authorities have accounted for everyone at the motel but are still searching the mobile home park. He says there's about a 2-mile path of damage and that, "People have absolutely lost everything."
The weather service gave the twister a preliminary rating of EF-2, which would mean it had wind speeds of 111-135 mph
