Severe storms death toll rises to 7 in 2 states

By KRISTI EATON, Associated Press Kristi Eaton, Associated Press – 4 mins ago
TUSHKA, Okla. – Destructive storms that tore across the country's midsection left at least nine people dead after smashing uprooted trees into homes in Arkansas and ripping apart the only school in one tiny Oklahoma town, officials said Friday.

A tornado swept through Tushka in southeast Oklahoma town late Thursday, killing two sisters in their 70s, Salvation Army Capt. Ric Swartz said.

The tornado also injured at least 25 people as it ground through the town of 350 residents, said Gilbert Wilson, Atoka County's emergency management director. He said witnesses reported seeing two tornadoes that merged to form a single twister. The National Weather Service confirmed a single tornado hit the area.

Emergency management spokeswoman Michelann Ooten said at least a dozen homes and businesses were destroyed.

Also, keep in mind that increasing numbers of earthquakes and increasing severity of

earthquakes are also part of Global Warming --

Earthquake activity also brings about more volcanic eruptions --
