Published June 11, 2009 09:11 am - Storms cause damage, outages OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Authorities say straight-line winds caused some damage and knocked out electricity as severe thunderstorms rolled across southern Oklahoma. There were no reports of injuries with yesterday's storms. In Haskell County, a sheriff's deputy reported a tornado touching down about 6 p.m. near Enterprise, but a man answering the phones at the county emergency management operations center said trained spotters only reported seeing a wall cloud. The man, who declined to give his name, says there was scattered tree damage in the county, particularly in the Kinta area. A small building was blown away and there was a report of a boat being flipped an unknown distance from one yard into another in the town. The weather service received a wind gust report of 70 mph in the Kinta area, as well as an 80 mph gust in Velma in Stephens County. Officials say the storms also toppled trees, fences and power lines in several other counties, including Garvin County, where a roof was reportedly blown off a storage facility. Oklahoma Gas and Electric reports more than 4,100 outages were reported.
