Severe storms brought large hail, damaging winds and tornadoes to parts of Oklahoma Monday, claiming the lives of two people, destroying and damaging multiple structures.

Tuesday morning, Bob Mills SkyNews 9 flew over some of the hardest hit areas in Garvin County. 

The first twister, moving in an east northeast direction, formed in a rural area just to the east of Elmore City in Garvin County.

Multiple homes and structures were damaged or destroyed by the tornado, including some mobile homes and barns. Most of the damage was located in the area of Elmore City, Katie and Wynnewood.

A second, even larger tornado then formed to the northwest of Sulphur, Okla. David Payne estimates this tornado to be an EF-4 or possibly larger, moving in the direction of Hickory, Okla. and Roff, Okla.

Tuesday morning, Garvin County Sheriff’s office said seven homes were destroyed and four were severely damaged. Numerous outbuildings and farming and ranching structures were damaged or destroyed.

The National Weather Service in Norman confirmed at least Ef-3 damage with the tornado that touched down near the Katie community.
