'Reports vary on tornado damage in Oklahoma
A second straight day of severe storms brought more tornadoes and more damage on Sunday, but no serious injuries were reported. Following twisters that struck Enid and Kremlin on Saturday night, two tornadoes were reported Sunday in western Oklahoma. A mobile home and a frame home were damaged by a tornado in Ellis County, state Department of Emergency Management spokeswoman Michelann Ooten said. There were no injuries reported.
Roger Mills County Sheriff Joe Hay said a tornado came down in a field Sunday afternoon but did not cause any damage. We have no damage in Roger Mills County that we’ve found, Hay said. It mostly was open field. The tornado that struck Enid on Saturday damaged the roof of the Garfield County Expo Center. Another tornado struck the neighboring town of Kremlin. The twisters destroyed a rural home, an indoor gun range and a car wash. They also damaged trailers and power poles and killed cattle, said Mike Honigsberg, Garfield County emergency manager.
I don’t have an exact dollar amount yet, but it’s going to be kind of costly, Honigsberg said. Several booths at a home show at the expo center were heavily damaged and the show was canceled. There were no significant injuries reported as a result of the storm. National Weather Service investigators did not attempt to confirm or rate the strength of the Enid and Kremlin tornadoes because they were busy tracking Sunday’s storms.
Continued rain across western and northern Oklahoma caused flooding that affected low-lying areas and caused the closures of several highways in Grant and Kay counties. Medford in Grant County had a two-day rainfall total of 6.08 inches. The Kingfisher County emergency manager reported the Cimarron River had overtopped its banks at the State Highway 51 bridge in the northwestern part of the county. Major flooding was forecast through this morning. The Cimarron also is expected to cause shallow flooding for some homes south of Dover through Tuesday morning.
Minor flooding was forecast for the North Canadian River near Seiling through this morning, and moderate flooding was forecast for the Salt Fork River near Tonkawa, with flood depths up to 6 feet possible from eastern Grant County across Kay County to the Arkansas River south of Ponca City.
