SHAWNEE, Okla. - When Lindsay Carter heard on the radio that a violent storm was approaching her rural Oklahoma neighborhood, she gathered her belongings and fled.
Sunday's tornado that tore part of the roof from Carter's frame house - one of few such homes in the Steelman Estates Mobile Home Park near Shawnee - laid waste to many of her neighbors' places, and killed two people and injured several others.
The tornado was one of several that touched down Sunday in the nation's midsection, concentrating damage in central Oklahoma and Wichita, Kan. Two people were killed in or near the mobile home park, which is outside of Shawnee, a community about 35 miles southeast of Oklahoma City.
