At this hour, Oklahoma is being hit by at least two large tornadoes, one of them reportedly massive, with wind shears above 200 mph, and an eye like a hurricane.

Meanwhile the tragedy of Joplin continues to unfold, with some 1500 people still unaccounted for.  NOAA has ranked the Joplin tornado as "the deadliest single tornado to strike the U.S. since modern tornado recordkeeping began in 1950."
