    Tornado tears through southern suburbs of Oklahoma City

    A tornado struck just south of Oklahoma City on Monday afternoon, ripping apart homes and other buildings in populated areas.

    The National Weather Service issued a rare tornado emergency for the Oklahoma City metropolitan area, meaning that significant and widespread damage and fatalities were likely.

    Video from CNN affiliates showed a funnel cloud stretching from the sky to the ground, kicking up debris.

    The tornado was estimated to be at least two miles wide at one point as it moved through Moore, Oklahoma, in the southern part of the Oklahoma City metropolitan area, CNN affiliate KFOR reported.

    Meteorologists warned residents to go underground to survive a direct hit from the tornado.

    "It's just destroying everything. There's so many homes in the air right now. The motion on this storm is sickening," said storm chaser Spencer Basoco.

    More than 171,000 people could have been in the path of the storm.
