Just days after a single tornado devastated the Missouri town of Joplin,
killing at least 122 people, a string of tornadoes struck Oklahoma City and
its suburbs during the Tuesday, killing five people and injuring at least 60
others, including three children.
The latest violent storms arrived in Oklahoma on Tuesday afternoon, before
moving onto Kansas where police said two people died when high winds threw a
tree into their van near the small town of St John.
They then headed east into Arkansas where they causes another two deaths.
The tornado which hit Joplin on Sunday, was the eighth-deadliest recorded in
the US since 1840.
