Drone footage captured the destruction wreaked by a tornado that swept through the town of Elk City, western Oklahoma on Tuesday, killing at least one person. Not a single house which stood in the path of the twister was left untouched and the devastation could be seen for miles around from the air. According to local reports, around 40 houses were totally destroyed, while between 50 and 75 homes were left uninhabitable after the twister compromised their structural integrity. The tornado caused untold sums in damages, estimated to be in the tens of millions of dollars. Emergency services continue to rescue Elk City residents, several of whom remain trapped under the rubble of their homes. Local authorities have reported that around 20 to 25 people were injured in the tornado.
