Several News 9 viewers have reported seeing a number of small tornadoes briefly touching down in Grady County, Tuesday evening.

Photos of the tornadoes from viewers have been pouring in after the storm blew up, seemingly out of nowhere just after 4 p.m. Reports of at least three twisters came in around 5:30 p.m., around the area of Pocasset, Minco and Tuttle.

The tornadoes were fairly small and short-lived. There have been no reports of damage or injuries associated with the storm.

Only after viewers reported seeing the tornadoes did the National Weather Service (NWS) upgrade the storm to severe. No tornado watches or warnings have been issued.

An apparent lightning strike also ignited a tank battery just west of Chickasha.
