Horror and heroism as tornado wreaks havoc

The search for survivors and the dead in the Oklahoma City suburb raked by a massive tornado was almost complete last night.

Fire chief Gary Bird was “98% sure” there were no more survivors or bodies to recover under the rubble in Moore.

Every damaged home had been searched at least once, and rescuers hoped to conduct three searches by nightfall, though heavy rains had slowed efforts and soaked debris piles.
