VALLEY VIEW, Texas (AP) — The dazed residents of a remote north Texas county sifted through their mangled homes after seven people there were killed when a tornado ripped through the region near the tiny community of Valley View. Cooke County Sheriff Ray Sappington says there’s “just a trail of debris left” Sunday in the area bordering Oklahoma. The dead included two children, ages 2 and 5, in Valley View, an agricultural community where barely 800 people live. The sheriff says the bodies of three family members were found in one residence. The county bore the brunt of powerful weekend storms that left 15 people dead across Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.
