After three days of combing through the wreckage of their storm-shattered community, officials in Moore, Oklahoma City, say all residents have now been accounted for.

24 people lost their lives in the tornado - which damaged up to 13,000 homes.

US President Barack Obama will visit the Oklahoma City area on Sunday to get a first hand look at damage from the tornado and meet with victims.

Six adults that had been unaccounted for have now been tracked - one of them has been found dead.

Plaza Towers elementary school stands derelict and shattered in the middle of the community of Moore.

Earlier this week authorities revised downwards the death toll, saying some of the victims may have been double-counted.
