A four-month-old baby was among at least five people killed after dozens of tornadoes swept across central parts of the US. Officials said at least 100 people were injured in Oklahoma, where four of the five died, as the extreme weather flattened buildings, ripped off roofing and threw vehicles down the street.
Storm warnings for high winds, heavy rain and hail were issued by the National Weather Service on Sunday for more than 47 million people stretching across a large part of the US from eastern Texas towards Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois and Wisconsin. The NWS reported 38 possible twisters struck the central belt with Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri enduring the worst of the weather. At one point, more than seven million people were placed under tornado warnings.
