Powerful
winds left a trail of damage across southwest Oklahoma Sunday night,
and we're bracing for a round of cool, raw weather Monday.
The
storms that rolled through the state Sunday evening destroyed a vacant
mobile home in Mountain Park in Kiowa County. Debby Clinton believes it
was something stronger than straight-line winds.
"Everything was blowing in a circular motion. The debris, wind, rain. It sounded like a roar or a train," said Clinton.
Wind also damaged the roof of a home in the town of Elmer in Jackson County.
Several
semi-trucks were flipped along I-40 in Washita County in western
Oklahoma. Overturned trucks were also reported on the Turnpike in Cotton
County and near the Hobart Airport.
Lightning knocked out power
Sunday night to residents in the Oklahoma City metro and Enid. News 9
Storm Trackers and viewers reported hail falling in several counties as
the noisy storms marched across the state late Sunday into early Monday
morning.
As of 9:45 a.m. Monday, 1,560 customers are still without power in Enid, according to OG&E.
