There were several tornados and thunderstorms across the state of Oklahoma overnight, with storms lasting all day Saturday into Sunday.

Just after 1 a.m. a tornado moved across McIntosh County and Eufaula moving east toward Duchess Landing and eventually Porum. The full severity of the storm has not been determined at this point. Emergency management crews have been working to assess any possible damage.

A confirmed tornado touched down in the area of Wagoner, Oklahoma around 12:50 a.m. Sunday, and continued toward Toppers and Fort Gibson Lake. Early reports have not indicated any major damage along this line, but crews continue searching. There are some power poles down, and emergency crews have closed some roads on the south side of Wagoner.

A tornado was confirmed to be on the ground near the Morris, Oklahoma area. It moved Northeast toward Boyton, Midway, Eram, and Jamesville. Okmulgee County Emergency Management reported that the Town of Morris has multiple power lines and power poles down. Search and rescue is ongoing and the county is clearing debris from the roadways.

Tulsa to the west is clear of severe weather and should hopefully stay that way. But damaging wind and tornado threats will continue along the leading edge of this slow-moving squall line.
