Tornadoes ravaging the Midwest and Plains have killed five people and injured 29 in Oklahoma, and caused serious damage to property, according to The Associated Press.

AP adds:

Oklahoma emergency officials said five people died after a tornado touched down at 12:18 a.m. Sunday in and around the northwest Oklahoma town of Woodward, the high winds damaging homes, toppling trees and downing power lines about 140 miles northwest of Oklahoma City. ..

Storms also were reported in Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska as a wide-ranging storm system lumbered its way across the nation’s midsection Saturday and Sunday.
