The Oklahoma City medical examiner’s office says the death toll from a massive tornado that churned through Oklahoma City Monday and destroyed homes, businesses and an elementary school with a direct blow, has been downgraded from 51 to at least 24.
“To date, 24 deceased victims of the tornado have been transported to our Oklahoma City office, and positive identifications have been made in the vast majority of those, and these are ready for return to their loved ones,” spokeswoman Amy Elliott told FoxNews.com in an email.
Nine of the bodies are children.
Elliott said during early recovery efforts, 51 deaths were reported to the medical examiner’s office, but some of them may have been double-counted.
She cautioned Tuesday, however, that officials could see as many as 40 additional fatalities. Authorities said initially that 20 children were among the dead.

"Thank God" an exhausted elderly woman who survived the devastating tornadoes in Oklahoma exclaimed as her beloved dog emerged from the rubble of her house - live on camera.
CBS News was interviewing Barbara Garcia shortly after a massive tornado demolished her house with her and her dog inside. She was in the middle of telling reporter Anna Werner about how she survived the storm, but she couldn't find her dog - until he miraculously appeared in the debris right behind her.

"Well I thought God just answered one prayer: let me be ok. But, he answered both of them, because this was my second prayer," Ms. Garcia told the news crew just after being reunited with her little dog. Amazingly, both Ms. Garcia and her dog appear to have survived the demolishing of their home relatively unscathed. They can both be seen walking away from the rubble at the end of the video.
It's stirring to see this moment of happiness and joy in the middle of such tragedy. We all ought to thank God for mercies like this. That an elderly woman and her cherished dog can be brought back together after all hope was lost should bring on the kind of tears we want instead of those we've been dealing with since these tornadoes touched town.
