At least 19 people, including two children, have been killed in powerful storms that ravaged the states of Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas in the central US, destroying homes and plunging thousands into darkness amid rising temperatures. The devastation is pretty severe,” Cooke County Sheriff Ray Sappington said. Areas near the community of Valley View were especially hard-hit. Valley View is about an hour north of Dallas by car. Valley View Police Chief Justin Stamps told CBS News on Sunday the death toll in that community could be as high as six.
