Oklahoma City: Tornadoes have left four people dead in Oklahoma and two in Kansas, officials said on Tuesday.
The four confirmed deaths in Oklahoma were in Canadian County, west of Oklahoma City, said Michaelann Ooten, deputy director of the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management.
Statewide, there were 60 injuries and 58,000 were without power, Ooten said.
In Kansas, two people died near the town of St John, state emergency management spokeswoman Sharon Watson said.
Steve Moody, the fire chief for St John said, "A family driving down Highway 281 pulled into a driveway and that was exactly where the tornado came through. A large diameter tree fell on the car, killing two."
A new round of tornadoes began two days after a monster twister ripped through the heart of Joplin, Missouri, killing more than 120 people. It was the deadliest single tornado in the United States in some 64 years.
