WRIGHT, Wyo. - Residents had just five minutes warning before a tornado tore into a mobile home park, killing two people and destroying dozens of homes. About a dozen people were injured, but only one remained hospitalized Saturday.
Three people who had been listed as missing Friday night were found safe.
The twister touched down Friday afternoon in this coal-mining town of 1,500 people about 100 miles northeast of Casper. It was on the ground an estimated 10 to 15 minutes, destroying 40 to 50 mobile homes and scattering metal siding, furniture and debris throughout the town.
At the site of one destroyed home, only some chairs remained standing.
"It's just total devastation of homes. There's just nothing left," Campbell County Undersheriff Scott Matheny said Saturday morning. "There are some homes that weren't even touched, but there's camper trailers turned upside down, and there's property and valuables strewn everywhere."
