Devastating storms which also included tornadoes were reported moving through Texas and Oklahoma yesterday, causing huge commotion in the area.

The storms caused at least one death, some injuries and left behind several homes destroyed and electricity black-outs. Hospitals in the area used their emergency back-up power generators until the matter was resolved.

In the Marshall County, power lines were knocked down near the Roosevelt Bridge challenging traffic for many hours. In Kingston, roads have been flooded and barricades had to be posted in order to minimize the catastrophe.

The number of people affected by the loss of electricity is close to 7,000 and at this point, efforts are made for the complete restoration by the end of the day.

Reports also include trees down all over the county, causing the closing of more than five highways.

According to the Associated Press, in Oklahoma, National Weather Service meteorologist Andrew Taylor in Norman was quoted saying that there had been two reports on a tornado in Choctaw County in the southeastern part of the state, but fortunately no mentionable damage was reported. Taylor said the reports could have been referring to the same tornado.
