This system is far from over and may produce even larger tornados over the next while.
The Oklahoma City Medical Examiner has confirmed 51 deaths. Amy Elliott, the chief administration officer at the Medical Examiner's office, said at least 20 of the fatalities are children. They expect the death toll to rise, she added.

edit: I realize it's not an update, sorry. It is the only video I've seen besides the time-lapse posted earlier.

Was this same area hit by the last mega tornado? Tragic news. :(
I wonder if now there will be plans to build more adequate protection from such powerful winds.

just watched a clip on BBC news- pisses me off when they anthropomorphise such acts of nature. It's fucking awful, the damage these winds do but a tornado is not and could never be "malevolent". Jaysus.
