TL;DR Summary

At least two people were killed and several others injured as a storm system spawned several tornadoes in and around the Oklahoma City metropolitan area on Wednesday night. The storm cut a path of damage a couple of miles wide and about 10 miles long, and a "considerable number" of homes had likely been destroyed. The weather system was dangerous in part because it behaved "erratically," the National Weather Service said. Tornado warnings in Oklahoma and neighboring states expired overnight, but about five million residents across Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and Missouri were under a severe thunderstorm watch as of 5 a.m.
