The second story of a El Reno motel collapsed in the Saturday night storm, officials said.
EL RENO, Okla. — Two people were killed after a likely tornado destroyed a motel and caused other damage in the Oklahoma City area, officials said Sunday.
The American Budget Value Inn was destroyed by the storm. Images at the scene showed emergency crews sifting through the rubble after part of the motel's second story collapsed into a pile of debris strewn about the first floor and parking lot. Elsewhere, overturned cars and twisted metal could be seen briefly as intermittent lightning flashed across the sky and the wailing sirens of approaching emergency vehicles could be heard in the distance.
