AP: BREAKING: State medical examiner's office: 37 killed in Oklahoma tornado; death toll expected to rise -RJJ
The official briefing is set to begin at any moment. It's streaming live now as they wait. CBS News Live Video - CBS News
Medical Examiner confirms 7 of the fatalities are children from the school. They're still in Search & Recovery mode at Plaza Towers. They're thinking 26-30 children are still under the rubble.
A couple years ago I spent Memorial Day weekend helping clean up Joplin and I'll be doing the same in Moore this year. My thoughts and prayers to all affected.
55 people are dead so far
I pray he made a mistake on that number but he was on the ground talking with officials. I also thought he might have meant to say 200 instead of up to 2,000.
Or more likely, 2,000 injuries.
It's not good when they're requesting assistance from surrounding areas for licensed, certified ME's.

Wall to wall cable news coverage on CNN, MSNBC, FOX. Piers Morgan has never seen anything like it. He seems genuinely stunned at the devastation.
I fear this one is gonna be worst than anyone imagines. This tornado hit at a really bad time and not much warning like the 99 tornado. Mike Morgan said 3 times the area of damage of the 99 tornado. This is a very highly populated area it went through for most of it's life.
Bill Nye the Science Guy was just on Piers Morgan. He's asked a good question. With Sandy less than a year ago at an extreme and this monster storm, is this the future? Is this the new normal?
We have to find a way to get underground shelters in all schools
This is going to be the costliest disaster in national history. The path is the same, but there was two or three times as much development in its way this time. I watched the southside explode w new home building immediately after May 3rd. This time the rebuilding will be totally different. This is on a Katrina level.
My parents live at SW 134th and May and they just barely lucked out. We still have family members we are trying to hear from though. The worst is old people who don't know how to text...
67 children now at the OU Trauma Center.
The Warren did receive some pretty good damage as well:
