Multiple tornadoes killed at least five people Monday in the central US state of Oklahoma, the Oklahoman daily said on its website.
The Oklahoma Emergency Management Department said there were injuries from the severe storms and tornadoes they spawned statewide, but offered no numbers.
However, a hospital spokeswoman told the daily that five people were being treated at the city's Moore Medical Center.
As of late Monday, the daily said damage assessment from tornadoes and hailstorms was still ongoing around the state.
In Oklahoma City, tornadoes ripped through the metro area tossing cars and flipping mobile homes, leaving several neighborhoods heavily damaged, the daily said.
The OG&E power company reported 31,000 outages from the storm, including 28,000 in Oklahoma City.
