OKLAHOMA CITY, April 21 (NNN-XINHUA) — Three people were killed as heavy storms hit the central US state of Oklahoma over the weekend, authorities said.
A 12-year-old boy and his mother died in Moore, about 16 km south of Oklahoma City, on Sunday after floodwaters washed away their vehicle, said local police.
“This was a historical weather event that impacted roads and resulted in dozens of high-water incidents across the city,” Moore police said in a statement.
Another person was killed on Saturday night after a tornado hit Spaulding, a town in Hughes County, the county wrote on Facebook.
Several homes and structures were destroyed, and there were “numerous washouts” of county roads, it said. — NNN-XINHUA
