Tuesday, a video from Norman, Oklahoma shows a tornado tossing a van around like a toy in the air; no one was injured. Wednesday, the second video below was taken to show the severe damage done over the past few days from a series of tornadoes to hit Oklahoma.
Severe thunderstorms are expected to continue Wednesday across large sections of Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Illinois and Indiana, according to the National Weather Service.

Albert Ashwood, director of Oklahoma Emergency Management said that 3 people died in Cleveland County, just west of Tecumseh and two more people were dead in Oklahoma County. Severe weather, thunderstorms, and hail up to the size of softballs were reported, according to the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma.
Seeing video of the tornadoes striking the state of Oklahoma brings back many memories for Salt Lake City residents of a freak 1999 tornado that struck the downtown area. The touchdown only lasted nine minutes, but did severe damage to structures and killed one person.
