TULSA, OK -- Strong storms are to blame for damage to a downtown Tulsa building. A huge chunk of the facade on the AT&T building at 5th and Denver was ripped off the building.

The material is made of styrofoam and stucco.

Crews spent part of the time cleaning up the debris, which blocked the entry to First Baptist Church downtown. They'll also remove any of the panels that are loose.

This is the same building that had problems back in March, when water deteriorated some of the bricks on the building, causing them to fall.
