Homes wiped out by severe weather in Oklahoma: Photos show damage left by weekend storms
View Date:2024-12-23 21:05:51
Residents in Oklahoma were hit by severe storms on Saturday and Sunday that destroyed homes and left thousands without power.
At least 100 homes were damaged by several suspected tornadoes in west Oklahoma over the weekend, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt said at a news conference on Sunday, according to the Oklahoman, a part of the USA TODAY Network.
Areas across the state are dealing with debris, downed power lines that block roads and fallen trees. In Tulsa County, around 100 miles northeast of Oklahoma City, a house caught fire after it was struck by lightning.
Southern-central Oklahoma was under a tornado watch through Sunday night, according to the National Weather Service in Norman, Oklahoma. The area was facing more heavy rain, potentially severe weather and possible tornadoes on Monday as well, according to the weather service.
Here's how residents and photos captured the scene in Oklahoma.
