Storms Do Damage In Oklahoma

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Parts of the Oklahoma Panhandle may have gotten some much-needed rain as severe weather passed through the area, but the thunderstorms also brought damaging winds.

Authorities say a carport was destroyed and a mobile home was damaged in Texas County when severe storms rolled through Wednesday night.

There were no reports of injuries, but strong straight-line winds in Beaver County toppled power poles near Turpin and Bryan's Corner, according to the National Weather Service. A 75-mph wind gust also was reported in Beaver County.

Tornado warnings were issued for Beaver and Texas counties, and later for Roger Mills County as the storms tracked southeastward into the body of the state this morning. There was no confirmation that any tornadoes touched down.
