The National Weather Service issued a tornado watch for much of northeastern Oklahoma that was to last until 2 a.m. A strong to severe line of storms moved in from the west Saturday evening.

The squall line started moving into the metro area around 9:15 p.m. The severe weather threat was reduced by that time, but storms still caused thousands of power outages in Sand Springs, Tulsa and Broken Arrow.

There was heavy rain and lightning. In Tulsa, organizers closed Oktoberfest at 9 p.m.
