                   10 Killed as Massive Tornado Hits Oklahoma

   A tornado with 320 kilometer-per-hour winds has killed at least 10
   people and caused massive destruction in the central U.S. state of
   Oklahoma, destroying two schools and entire neighborhoods.
   The 1.6 kilometer wide tornado destroyed swaths of Moore, an Oklahoma
   City suburb, injuring dozens of people, sending debris flying and
   setting buildings on fire.
   Rescue workers have pulled several children alive out of the rubble of
   the schools.
   The severe weather outbreak was expected to spread across other parts
   of the Plains and the Midwest. An earlier tornado killed two people in
   Oklahoma Sunday.
   The National Weather Service placed parts of five storm-battered states
   -- Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and Texas -- under a tornado
   watch, meaning conditions are favorable for tornadoes to develop.
   The same suburb of Oklahoma City was hit hard by a tornado in 1999.
   That storm had the highest winds ever recorded near the Earth`s
   surface.
