MOORE, Okla. -- As this devastated city buried the first victim of this
week's tornado, officials announced that the human toll appeared to be
final at 24 dead and 377 injured.

.

Led by Gov. Mary Fallin, state and local officials said at a news
conference that there had been tremendous progress in dealing with
removing debris and making repairs since the tornado tore through this
Oklahoma City suburb on Monday. But even as fierce rain initially hampered
some recovery efforts Thursday, there were some bright spots as the city
opened up newly cleared roads, allowing residents and cleanup specialists
more access to the stricken zones.

.

The brightest development, however, seemed to be that the casualty list
had stabilized, with all 24 dead identified and their relatives contacted,
Amy Elliott, a spokeswoman for the state medical examiner's office said at
an afternoon news conference.

.

"We pray the numbers will hold steady and won't go up," Fallin said at the
news conference.

.

The governor also formally announced a memorial service to be held Sunday,
the same day that President Obama is scheduled to tour the devastation.

"We are in a stage of healing," Fallin said. The service, to be held in
Moore, will be open to all communities in the region.

.

"It will be a time to come together in prayer and thankfulness," she said.

.

The tornado swept through the city carrying winds in excess of 200 miles
per hour as it carved a 17-mile scar through the region. It flattened a
local school, where seven children were killed, destroyed a hospital and
damaged or leveled as many as 13,000 homes, according to officials.

.

The cost of the damage has been pegged by the state at more than $2
billion, making the storm the most expensive in Oklahoma history. At least
four tornadoes have torn through the area since 1998 and the 1999 one was
the deadliest with more than 40 people killed.
