Severe weather makes its way across Oklahoma, with high winds, some heavy rains and hail. It also meant thunderstorm warnings and tornado watches.

News on 6 storm warn units were out chasing the weather overnight.

Along the Creek Turnpike, heavy rain fell.

Further south, it's a much different story. Strong winds of more than 70 miles per hour blew across the state. Flags stood straight out, as sheets of rain came down in the Checotah area.

So just how strong were the winds? A semi tractor trailer truck was blown onto its side south of Checotah. No one was hurt.

There are reports of some damage in the McAlester area as well.
