UPDATE 12:53 a.m. — Amy Elliot, the chief administrative officer of the Oklahoma office of the Chief Medical Examiner, told CNN’s Piers Morgan that 40 additional bodies have been discovered — bringing the death toll to at least 91. Elliot said she still expects even more casualties. The official death toll remains at 51.
