He said the tornado went through the eastern half of Atoka and that there were a number (unknown number) of homes damaged and some may be "gone."

If homes were ripped from foundations, wouldn't that be EF-5 stuff?


With some of the video I saw, I wouldn't be surprised. VERY bad damage. Leveled the couple houses I seen.

KTEN reports that the school in Tushka has been "flattened." The reporter said it looks like a "horror scene."

From Tulsa's KTUL.com weather blog:

8:40 p.m. - A dispatcher in Atoka County has told NewsChannel 8 that one person is dead, four others critically hurt and another is missing. People are trapped in homes, power lines are down and they are still assessing the damage.

On another board it said a school was completely flattened. That is EF5 damage if that is true, but that may be an exaggeration.

Large Tornado just reported on the ground between Wister and Howe, Oklahoma.

Looks to stay south of Poteau, Oklahoma and Ft. Smith, Arkansas because it turned right.

People in the path of this storm TAKE COVER! Large Tornado spotted on the ground.
