A devastating tornado tore through Moore, Oklahoma on Monday, killing at least 24 and leaving the city looking like “a debris field,” according to comments Mayor Glenn Lewis made to NBC.
The tornado was one of at least 22 tornadoes that struck across six states on Monday, a day after a northeast-moving storm spawned over 20 tornadoes through Texas, Minnesota, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma.
The Insurance Information Institute says it will take weeks to calculate the number of insured losses and claims resulting from yesterday's natural disaster, but I.I.I. adds that tornadoes this spring have been some of the costliest—and deadliest—in U.S. history.
