Storm chasers video of Tornado smashing all on its way in Oklahoma

The ferocious power of one of the devastating tornadoes that struck the US state of Oklahoma on Tuesday was captured on camera by so-called "storm chasers", who followed the twister as it left a trail of devastation in its wake. The tornado is seen churning through the Chickasha area, 25 miles (40 kilometres) southwest of Oklahoma City. Officials said a 26-year-old woman died when the twister hit a mobile home park where residents had been asked to leave. A dozen people were injured and hundreds were displaced in the area, they added. That twister was just one of the many tornadoes that struck Oklahoma and also the states of Arkansas and Kansas on Tuesday, killing at least 15 people. Those powerful storms came two days after the nation's deadliest single tornado since 1950 killed at least 125 people on Sunday in Joplin in southwest Missouri.
