                     Obama Surveys Oklahoma Tornado Damage

   by VOA News

   U.S. President Barack Obama traveled to the midwestern state of
   Oklahoma Sunday to view the damage from last week's devastating
   tornado.
   Obama will meet with and console residents of the town of Moore, where
   24 people were killed and more than 200 others were injured.
   Monday's tornado registered at an EF-5 - the strongest U.S. tornado
   measurement. It obliterated schools, neighborhoods and a hospital in
   the suburb which lies outside of Oklahoma City.
   The president has already declared Moore a disaster area and pledged to
   provide the town with everything it needs as it struggles to rebuild.
   The storm damage is estimated to be around $2 billion.
