Tornado sirens sounded across Oklahoma City hours before dawn Saturday as states braced residents for what could be a day of 'life-threatening' storms - with the most dangerous weather expected to arrive this afternoon.

The area includes the small town of Piedmont, where a twister last May killed several people, including two young boys, authorities said.
