At least one person has been killed and several others were injured after a tornado roared through Tulsa, Oklahoma, according to the BBC.
Tulsa police said the death occurred inside a mobile home park near suburban Sand Springs on Wednesday. The park was nearly destroyed in the storm.
"It could have been much worse," Sheriff's Capt Billy McKinley said.
It was unclear whether the damage was caused by the tornado or just high winds. Mr McKinley said the exact number of people hurt was not known.
Tornadoes were seen elsewhere in Oklahoma, as well as in Arkansas, but no injuries were reported from those.
