(May 24, 2008)--At least four tornadoes touched down in north-central Oklahoma Saturday afternoon, causing isolated damage in mostly rural areas.

One tornado destroyed a hog farm near the town of Hennessey, about 60 miles north-northwest of Oklahoma City.

The same storm later spawned another tornado which damaged a church in nearby Covington, Okla.

No injuries were reported from the storms.

Saturday's tornadoes came a day after deadly storms ripped through parts of Kansas, Colorado, and Wyoming.

Two people were killed Friday when a tornado blew their car off a Kansas highway about 60 miles west of Wichita.

That brings the total number of tornado-related fatalities this year to 103.

It's the highest annual death toll since 1998, when 130 people died in tornadoes.

Meteorologists are expecting more severe weather in the Upper Midwest and Mid-Missouri River Valley Sunday.
