             Moore, Oklahoma Holds First Funeral of Tornado Victim

   Moore, Oklahoma held the first funeral for a victim of Monday`s monster
   tornado -- a nine year-old girl killed when the storm tore apart her
   elementary school.
   Windy and rainy weather added to the somber atmosphere as Antonia
   Candelaria was buried Thursday. She was one of 24 people who died when
   the twister destroyed entire neighborhoods of the town near Oklahoma
   City.
   Early estimates put the damage in Moore at $2 billion. Twelve-hundred
   homes were blown away or damaged. More than 300 people were injured.
   Monday`s storm was an EF-5 -- the top of the scale measuring the
   strength of tornadoes. Winds exceeded 320 kilometers per hour.
   President Barack Obama plans to visit Moore Sunday.
