Tornadoes hit Oklahoma City yesterday, smashing vehicles along a major highway. The highway patrol said a number of motorists are injured, and a few were missing.
Highway Patrol Trooper Betsy Randolph said troopers found the bodies of the woman and baby near a vehicle along Interstate 40 west of the city. The storm hit during the evening rush hour, causing havoc.
High winds were forecast for Moore, the suburb where a top-of-the-scale tornado killed 24 on May 20.
Passengers at the city's Will Rogers World Airport were directed into underground tunnels, and inbound and outbound flights were canceled.
Television cameras showed debris falling from the sky. Forecasters warned of a "particularly dangerous situation." The region is in part of the Midwest US known as Tornado Alley.
