The National Weather Service reported numerous tornadoes around the area. The agency also noted there was a "confirmed and extremely dangerous tornado" about 25 miles northwest of St. Louis, Missouri.

Latest development:
-- Discussing how his city fared as severe weather rolled through Friday, Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett told CNN, "We feel relatively fortunate, but the night's young."

Previously reported developments:

But I am now in Tucson, AZ.

I can really feel for Moore right now. I remember a few days after the tornado that they had to hit the sirens. We found out much later it was for strait line winds. But we were in a tent when it went off. We had now where to go. It was ...
