Oklahoma flooding has killed a woman and a child, police say, as the region has been hit by severe storms this weekend.

Bill Macon, emergency management director in Oklahoma's Marshall County, said their early assessments show a tornado “skipped and jumped around” over a path of 6 to 7 miles (about 10 to 11 kilometers) in the rural area that left at least 20 homes damaged, with some destroyed completely.

Severe weather that hit Oklahoma over the weekend has killed at least three people, according to authorities, who are searching for at least two people reported missing.
