One report is indicating at least 17 people are missing from the second floor of the motel.... that’s just from the second floor. Search and rescue teams are are coming from all around the area.

Tornado ally, it’s a bitch. I was stationed in Altus OK for almost 4 years. Between the town and the base, we were directly hit by a tornado three out of four years I was there.

Looks to have been a bi-level motor court type of motel? Not seeing a second floor at all.
