OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - Dozens of tornadoes tore through parts of
Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa overnight and one twister killed at
least five people early on Sunday as storm sirens failed to sound in an
Oklahoma town and caught people unaware.
.
Storms skipped across what is often called "Tornado Alley" in the U.S.
Central and Southern Plains and more were forecast. But casualties
appeared limited because many of the twisters hit sparsely populated
areas, and during daylight hours or evening when people were still awake.
.
In Oklahoma, a twister struck the northwest city of Woodward early on
Sunday morning after lightning apparently disabled its storm warning
system, Mayor Roscoe Hill said.
.
Two children died at the Hide A Way mobile home park on the west side of
Woodward, a town of 12,000 people, while two adults were killed in a small
community just outside the city limits, Hill said. Details of the fifth
death were not immediately known, according to Keli Cain, spokeswoman for
Oklahoma Emergency Management.
.
"This thing took us by surprise," Hill said, adding storm sirens had not
sounded. "It's kind of overwhelming."
.
Hill said he was told the tornado hit the west and north sides of the
city, badly damaging an apartment complex where residents were trapped and
awaiting rescue.
.
A tornado that struck Woodward in April 1947 still ranks as the deadliest
in Oklahoma history, with 116 people killed, according to the National
Weather Service.

EARLY TORNADO SEASON
.
The U.S. tornado season started early this year, with twisters already
blamed for 62 deaths in 2012 in the Midwest and South, raising concerns
that this year would be a repeat of 2011, the deadliest tornado year in
nearly a century.
.
Some 550 people died in tornadoes last year, including 316 killed in an
April outbreak in five Southern states, and 161 people in Joplin,
Missouri, the following month.
.
As of early Sunday morning, the National Weather Service website said it
had received preliminary reports of 121 tornadoes across four states over
the previous 24 hours. Some could be duplicate reports of the same tornado
and it usually takes experts at least a day or so to confirm if they were
tornadoes.
