The National Weather Service issued several tornado warnings for Oklahoma counties, but all were able to expire around 6:30 Monday evening. As storms made their way east by late Monday night.

Just before 5:45 the NWS said tornado debris was detected by radar west of Poteau, moving north/northeast. Damage has been reported all around the area, including a mobile home that was flipped on its side, down power lines and a cell tower that was split.

The damage may have been the result of a possible tornado or high wind damage.

According to the Cherokee County Emergency Management, a road near the Stick Ross Mountain area, just south of Tahlequah, has collapsed. They also said several people are without power due to a lightning strike.

While storms quieted down Monday evening, more rain is forecasted for Tuesday evening.

Chief Meteorologist Travis Meyer said there is a chance of large hail and damaging winds with the storms.

Once we get beyond that, Meyer said we may finally get a break, but said two to three more inches of rain is expected to fall the rest of the week.
