The injured flooded into hospitals, and the authorities said many people remained trapped, even as rescue workers struggled to make their way through debris-clogged streets to the devastated suburb of Moore, where much of the damage occurred.
Clinging to the hope of finding more survivors, rescue workers raced overnight scouring mountains of rubble where houses and schools once stood-- even as the sobering death toll continued to climb.
The vicious tornado that
tore across central Oklahoma on Monday has killed at least 51 people --
with about 40 more bodies expected to arrive at the Oklahoma Medical
Examiner's office, Amy Elliott of the coroner's office said. The
official death toll will gradually rise as the bodies are processed.
May the souls of those lost rest in peace. Also say a prayer for the injured . God be with them
