It came like a jet plane, and nothing in science could halt it

Article Abstract:

A tornado has caused wide-scale devastation in Oklahoma. There are an average of 52 tornadoes a year in this state, and local people are linked to early-warning systems. However, few hurricanes have been as powerful as this one. Many basic facilities have failed, and Oklahoma also requires urgent assistance with casualties, with many people having been injured by flying glass and wreckage. It will take a long time to repair all the damage.
