"A mobile home in the air."

I always wondered why I had to get a registration for my mobile home every year like I do my car. Now I know. They expect it to fly one day.

Thu May 8, 2003 07:05 PM ET

OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - A tornado tore through the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore on Thursday, destroying buildings and up-ending cars, but there was no immediate information as to injuries or the extent of the damage, police said.

The tornado touched down in Moore, about 15 miles south of Oklahoma City at about 5:17 p.m. EDT. Live video footage from local broadcaster KFOR showed a restaurant destroyed by the tornado, which also ripped through large sections of a General Motors facility in the area.

Fire trucks and rescue vehicles could be seen racing through city streets, and there were several buildings, homes and apartment complexes that were damaged in the tornado, the video footage showed.

The tornado was heading to the east, authorities said.

The broadcaster said at least one person was injured but authorities could not confirm the report.
