Cleanup For Residents In Le Flore County Begins After Severe Storm Hits

After two possible tornadoes in Le Flore County, people there are cleaning up damaged homes, trees and one business.

An office chair sits just off Highway 128 near Heavener, misplaced from the OK Feeds Mill.

Across the street, countless shreds of paper were forced into a line of trees. The winds caused a visitors log to wrap around a branch.

“And it was only about 30 seconds of real hard fury,” neighbor Gary Wineinger said.

A metal roof that covered diesel pumps at the feed mill, now rests somewhere new after a bumpy night.

“If it wouldn’t been for them trees and that telephone pole, it probably would have hit my house,” Jolene Braziel said.

Now the cleanup begins after those powerful winds left trees snapped and uprooted.

Wineinger took cover with his wife and mother-in-law, Virginia, in her house last night.

After calling it home for nearly 40 years, the property is now covered in downed trees; there is damage to the roof and water damage inside.

“Oh she’s frantic about it of course but we gotta wait on the insurance to come and take their peek and that’s gonna be not til Monday now,” Wineinger said.

Le Flore County emergency management reports no one got hurt from the two possible tornadoes that touched down, just a lot of clean up to do throughout the county.
