More than a dozen injured as 9 tornadoes reported across Oklahoma, Kansas

A series of severe storms and tornadoes that were reported in Oklahoma and Kansas have left more than a dozen people injured, officials say.

Storm-hit communities in Oklahoma and Kansas are surveying storm damage Monday after nine tornadoes were reported across both states yesterday, leaving more than a dozen injured.

Residents in those states and 14 others throughout the Midwest and Southeast are also waking up Monday to wind advisories from the National Weather Service. 

"A deep mid-latitude cyclone will spread showers and thunderstorms across portions of the Midwest Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic today," the NWS said in an advisory.

"The storm prediction center issued a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Ohio Valley due to the risk of damaging gusts and a few tornadoes," it added.
