A rare and violent tornado swept through the city of Enid, Oklahoma, on Thursday, leaving a landscape of destruction in its wake and injuring at least 10 people, according to initial reports. The storm struck with little warning, tearing through residential and commercial areas and prompting a flurry of emergency response efforts.
