At least two have been killed in Oklahoma and a disaster emergency has been declared in Kansas are a severe storm system moving through the Midwest spawned a number of strong tornadoes.
Woodward County Sheriff's Dept. in Oklahoma confirmed two deaths, and there were unconfirmed reports of more fatalities in the area.
In Kansas, governor Sam Brownback issued a declaration of disaster emergency to help speed relief to areas affected by the storms. "We are continuing to assess all the damages across the state," said Brownback, "and signing this declaration clears the way for making state aid available to those counties that need help with clean-up and recovery."
