Estimates suggest that the massive tornado to hit Moore, Oklahoma on Monday, says at least 236 people were hurt, with that number expect to rise, CBS News reported. The storm laid waste to scores of buildings in Moore, a community of 41,000 people about 10 miles south of Oklahoma City. Rescuers launched a desperate rescue effort at the elementary school, pulling children from heaps of debris and carrying them to a triage center.

Children were among the many missing, with at least 120 people injured, and 24 confirmed to have died after a tornado struck leveled Oklahoma on Monday afternoon in what U.S. President Barack Obama called "one of the most destructive tornadoes in history," NBC News reported. The tornado delivered a direct hit to two elementary schools, which included seven children drowning in a pool of water at Plaza Towers Elementary School.
