Oklahoma flooding kills two as severe weather threatens Midwest and South

Severe weather in Oklahoma has led to the tragic deaths of two individuals, including a child, amid widespread flooding in Moore. Over the weekend, police received numerous reports of high-water incidents, with some vehicles swept away and requiring rescue. The National Weather Service has issued alerts for continued flooding and thunderstorms, warning residents across Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, and southern Illinois. On Easter Sunday, communities began assessing the aftermath of confirmed tornadoes that struck the region, resulting in power outages for thousands. Bill Macon, the Marshall County emergency management director, described the tornado's erratic path, which damaged at least 20 homes.

In Ada, another town still recovering from an earlier tornado, a new EF1 tornado caused additional harm. Local authorities are urging residents to heed weather warnings as the situation remains critical. This severe weather event underscores the importance of preparedness and community resilience in the face of natural disasters.
