At least one person in Oklahoma has died as a result of a tornado that ripped through small towns, as severe storms moved from the South and into central areas, causing devastation and disruption for millions.
Osage County Sheriff Eddie Virden told NBC News that the unidentified person died as a result of a tornado in Barnsdall, a city of about 1,000 people some 40 miles north of Tulsa, amid some of the storm's worst devastation, on Monday night.
Virden said it was too early to say how many others may have been injured but said his deputies had carried out multiple rescues. "There’s areas, residences that [have] been completely destroyed. We did several rescues of people trapped in debris," he said.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol said on X that it had established a meeting point in the town for anyone searching for loved ones.
