At least four tornadoes had been spotted in north central Oklahoma, including one about a 45-minute drive north of Tulsa.OKLAHOMA CITY — Tornadoes touched down Monday evening in rural Oklahoma and large hail pelted parts of Kansas as an outbreak of dangerous storms brought the possibility of strong twisters staying on the ground for many miles.“You can’t rely on waiting to see tornadoes before sheltering tonight,” the National Weather Service said.
A dispatcher for Kingfisher County, Oklahoma, said there was a report of tornado damage to a single home, but it wasn’t immediately known if anyone was in the home or if anyone was hurt. Throughout the area, wind farm turbines spun rapidly in the wind and blinding rain. Oklahoma’s State Emergency Operations Center, which coordinates storm response from a bunker near the state Capitol, remains activated from last weekend’s deadly storms, and the state’s commissioner of public safety told state agencies to let most of their workers across Oklahoma leave early on Monday.
“It’s the highest level of threat we can assign. And it’s a day to take very, very seriously," he said.
