MOORE, Oklahoma | Mon May 20, 2013 7:52pm EDT


(Reuters) - A huge tornado with winds of up to 200 miles per hour devastated the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore on Monday, ripping up at least two elementary schools and a hospital and leaving a wake of tangled wreckage.


At least four people were killed, KFOR television said, citing a reporter's eyewitness account, and hospitals said dozens of people were injured as the dangerous storm system threatened as many as 10 U.S. states with more twisters.

3. When an American president shows up, it's not that big a deal.

President Barack Obama came to Amman,
and most people paid little attention.

There were no throngs in the streets
as the motorcade zoomed across town.

throng: 群衆、人ごみ

motorcade:
〈米〉〔重要人物などを乗せた〕車列、車でのパレード[行進]

zoom:
素早く動く、ブーンという音を立てる、
 大きな音を立てて急に動く、疾走する

People in rooftop restaurants gazed out curiously,
but no one would accuse the American president
of bringing life to a standstill in this city.
The United States is no longer seen here with the awe
-- negative or positive -- that it once inspired.

awe:
畏敬(の念)、畏怖
