Local news has changed it to two killed now.

One died at J&I mfg, which was apparently in the path. No info on the second person. :/

We had one 1/2 mile south of Cobb and 1 mile north of parents house dad said he stood on his porch and watched the debris in the sky but from what i heard on the scanner no injuries with it just alot of structure damage.

KXII news just showed pics of OK Steel & Wire in Madill, and there's extensive damage from the Hwy 70 view.

IIRC, I think there were ten tornados today and one tornado was on the ground for about twenty miles.

One victim's name & details of death released:

"The storm hit the area around Madill, Oklahoma, about 4:30 p.m. as clusters of severe weather roared through parts of Oklahoma and Texas. Twelve tornadoes were reported across eight Texoma counties through the evening.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol identified one of the victims as Chad L. Weyant, 46, of Madill. Troopers said his small car was hit by a tornado while driving on US 377. Weyant was ejected from the vehicle and his body was found in the median.

His Smart Fortwo car was found in a field.

One other person also died in Madill and at least one another person was hospitalized. The tornado damaged about a dozen homes and businesses and uprooted large trees.

Chaney said J&I Manufacturing took a direct hit, as did fence wire manufacturer Oklahoma Steel and Wire in Madill, where the roof was ripped away."
