Multiple people were injured after severe storms and reported tornadoes ripped through the Oklahoma City area early Sunday morning.
Emergency crews were working to assess the damages as the sun rose on Sunday. While the National Weather Service has not yet surveyed the area, Mike Morgan, chief meteorologist at Nexstar’s KFOR, says there may have been as many as seven tornadoes that touched down in the early morning hours.
At least six people suffered non-life-threatening injuries, the Oklahoma City Police said. Five of those patients were all injured in the same area on the city’s southeast side.
No fatalities have been reported as of 8 a.m. Sunday.
The Oklahoma City Fire Department reports several structures have sustained damage and stresses that there are downed power lines, traffic lights have been damaged, or are without power. There are also many trees down.
