(CBS News) OKLAHOMA CITY "I just heard something like a train, a huge vacuum cleaner-type train suction sound and I just sat down and figured it was the last day of my life," Holly, Colo., resident Stella Bates told CBS News.
A powerful spring storm unleashed dozens of tornadoes over the past two days in the central Plains states, reports CBS News correspondent Hari Sreenivasan.
A tornado near Oklahoma City left two people in critical condition, damaged a dozen homes, knocked down high voltage power lines and pushed vehicles off the highway like toys.
Joyce Eels said she can live with the fact that a tornado took off most of the roof of her home — she's just thankful to be alive.
"All the important things are OK," she said Thursday. "My husband and family are OK. That's the important stuff."
Tornadoes or high winds are believed to have killed at least four people in three states, including a woman who was flung into a tree by a twister that witnesses said was as wide as two football fields.
