Published April 29, 2009 09:08 am - 6 tornadoes touch down ENID, Okla. (AP) — As many as six tornadoes raked across Oklahoma over the weekend, with most of them occurring in Garfield County, according to the National Weather Service. Investigators determined that two confirmed tornadoes that struck the county were EF-2s, which can generate winds of up to 135 mph, said meteorologist Alex Lamers. One of the storms touched down in north Enid and another hit southeast of Kremlin, according to a report compiled by Rick Smith, warning coordination meteorologist. A third Garfield County tornado that struck northwest of Kremlin and near Hillsdale, was rated EF-1, Lamers said. EF-1 tornadoes generate winds of up to 110 mph. Rating on the county's fourth tornado, which hit east of Hillsdale, has not been completed. Tornadoes also were reported in Roger Mills and Ellis counties on Sunday, but investigators haven't assigned ratings to them yet, Lamers said. Scientists were still trying to evaluate how long the tornadoes stayed on the ground. There were serious injuries reported with the storms, but extensive property damage was reported in Garfield County.
