h1>Tornadoes Devastate Downtown Sulphur, Oklahoma h2>Multiple Tornadoes May Have Struck the City h3>Mass Casualty Incident Reported
Sulphur, Oklahoma, is reeling from the aftermath of a deadly tornado outbreak that struck late Saturday night. The Weather Channel's Paul Goodloe reports that the city may have been hit by two separate tornadoes within an hour.
One tornado caused major destruction in a part of town around 10 pm. At least two people, including a 4-month-old, died in the outbreak. The city of Sulphur in Murray County experienced some of the most extensive storm damage.
"It's a miracle that more people weren't killed," said Goodloe. "The tornado destroyed much of the downtown area, including several businesses and homes."
Emergency responders are still searching through the wreckage for survivors. The Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management has reported a mass casualty incident.
The National Weather Service is investigating whether two separate tornadoes struck Sulphur. If confirmed, it would be the first time that two tornadoes have hit the same city within an hour in recorded history.
The tornadoes are part of a larger storm system that has been moving across the southern United States. Severe weather is expected to continue in the region for the next several days.
