After a slow start to the severe weather season, the southern Great Plains got hit hard yesterday. Multiple tornadoes were reported from Oklahoma through Arkansas with Oklahoma City and Tulsa right in the middle of several of those tornado warned storms. Tornado ratings are not out yet but preliminary reports show tornadoes were likely responsible for much of the damage near Moore, Oklahoma and Tulsa. At least one person has been confirmed dead and several injured. Here is a look at some damage photos.
