The latest of late-season snowstorms, Winter Storm Yogi continued its slow trudge eastward on Wednesday morning, dumping more than two feet of snow in parts of Colorado and Wyoming.

"In terms of direct impact to travel, it looks like Wyoming will take the brunt of Winter Storm Yogi," said weather.com meteorologist Nick Wiltgen. "But aside from the typical travel woes, our other concern is the potential for Yogi to bring more snow to the Red River Basin, further escalating the flood risk later this spring when warmer weather arrives."

Meteorologist Daniel Dix, part of the Tornado Hunt team, takes a photo of the tornado-warned storm from the window of the chase vehicle in Lawton, Okla.
 

Tornadoes reportedly touched down in Comanche County and Lawton in southwestern Oklahoma on Wednesday, causing minor damage to a Goodyear tire plant and trapping four people inside a mobile home that got knocked off its foundation, authorities said. The severe weather also created a dramatic chase for meteorologist Mike Bettes and his Tornado Hunt team.

No injuries were reported. Comanche County spokesman Jacob Russell said the mobile home was blown over at Elgin, about 20 miles northeast of Lawton.

God said:

Even in the indelicacies of life that are handed to you, there is perfection. There is perfection of a moment. The scene, as it might be played in a stage play, is presented amazingly.

Camera! Action! This scene could not have been performed better. It is a one-time-only event.

A fiery explosion at a Texas fertilizer plant in a small town north of Waco sent about 120 people to hospitals, destroyed dozens of homes and businesses and prompted widespread evacuations.

Area hospitals reported treating slightly more than 120 people injured by the blast at the plant in West, Texas. Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Gail Scarborough earlier put the number of injured near the plant even higher -- 200 people, 40 of them critically.

The blast also has caused fatalities, said State Trooper D.L. Wilson, another official with the Texas Department of Public Safety, though as of 1 a.m. ET he did not immediately know how many.
