Moore, Oklahoma (CNN) -- A search-and-rescue effort to find
survivors of a monster tornado that pulverized a vast swath of the suburbs of
Oklahoma City shifted Tuesday to one of recovery, officials said.
No new survivors or bodies have been found since the early
hours after the tornado carved a trail 17 miles long on Monday afternoon.
"We feel like we have basically gone from rescue and
searching to recovery," Glenn Lewis, the mayor of hard-hit Moore, told
CNN's Anderson Cooper.
Lewis said he didn't expect the death toll to climb any
higher. At least 24 people, including nine children, were killed, according to
the state medical examiner's office.
