Mayfield, Camargo, Leedey, Talo-ga, Cheyenne, Deer Creek and Strong City. Some property was damaged also on the south edge of Oklahoma City. The spring's most devastating tornadoes sprang from a squall line that started pushing thunderstorms and heavy rain northeastward from the Texas Panhandle late Wednesday. The rain continued in most areas after the twisters had done their deadly work. Rescue efforts were hampered by mud, tangled com-munication lines, wreckage-jammed streets and loss of lighting facilities.

Throughout Thursday morning, teams of rescuers dug into the piles of rubble hunting additional victims. Johnny Walker, 37, and his wife were preparing to retire about 10:30 p.m. (CST) when the blow hit Udall. Their lights suddenly went out. "I jumped up and the door blew open," walker related.

"I forced it shut. Then my wife put her arms around my waist and we crawled to the stairway there was an explosion it seemed like and all the windows vent out of the house the man living just north of us was blown out of his house. He staggered over to my place and we stayed there together. After the tornado had passed, Walker said, he and the neighbor, Gus Buchholz, about 70, went outside. "We saw bodies lying along the street and them that was gone (dead) we just left lying.

We kept looking for the others (living)" he added. The injured were described by nurse Merle Wheelen at a hospital at near-by Winfield, as suffering from all types of hurts from "broken bones to sticks stuck in their bodies."
