Severe storms and reported tornadoes tore through Oklahoma on Saturday into early Sunday, injuring at least five people, toppling power lines and trees and leaving a trail of destruction.
At least 14 homes were damaged, according to the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management. Downed power lines blocked roads and debris was strewn across the ground in some areas. In Tulsa County, about 100 miles northeast of Oklahoma City, lightning strikes set a house on fire.
Firefighters rescued at least two people trapped in overturned mobile homes, the Oklahoma City Fire Department said in a Facebook post . Five people were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries after the storms rolled through.
The storms severely damaged “numerous structures,” including knocking down power lines and traffic lights and scattering trees throughout the area, the Fire Department said. Nearly 82,000 people were still without power as of Sunday morning, according to poweroutage.us .
