"Some with trees on houses, some with trees in the yard, some small work, some big work, some where we're going to have to have a bucket truck to get to the top," said Lonnie Rowan with Oklahoma Baptist Disaster Relief.

The National Weather Service says the damage was caused by strong straight-line winds.
