Deadly Oklahoma Tornado Aftermath, Winds

By Jesse Ferrell, AccuWeather meteorologist

Published Feb 11, 2009 11:11 AM EDT | Updated Feb 12, 2009 2:53 PM EDT

UPDATE: Here are some nighttime video stills of the Lone Grove tornado as it was illuminated by lightning or transformer explosions. You can see the Edmond tornado in the helicopter video below, and the see play-by-play coverage from KOCO as they were showing the video on their site. Pretty crazy stuff.

Here's a clarification on where the deaths were (near Ardmore, OK in Lone Grove) -- and injuries were (north of Oklahoma City in Edmond). The red crosses indicate those towns' positions, while the "T"'s indicate the location of the tornado reports yesterday. USAToday says the death toll may rise. Our hearts go out to the victims.

ORIGINAL REPORT: CNN says that 8 people were killed and over 30,000 lost power from yesterday's tornadoes in Oklahoma. I'll be adding Raw Video to the player at right throughout the day, and will attempt to get some more radar information from the storm as well.

Here are a couple of telling AP Photos:

Jerry was not in the metal-structured building at the time the storm passed through. (AP Photo/Bill Waugh)

The news today turns to high winds which will roar across the Ohio Valley into the Northeast tonight.
