"Heavy rain and strong wind swept across Texas and Oklahoma on Thursday,
downing power lines, flipping mobile homes and uprooting trees. Tornado
and flood watches were issued for dozens of counties, but there were no
immediate reports of deaths or serious injuries.
Most of the damage reported in several Texas counties was caused by
straight-line winds, but some brief tornado touchdowns were reported,
National Weather Service meteorologist Alan Moller said. In Texas, a small
tornado touched down in Jones County after the storm hit shortly before
noon. Gusts of up to 80 mph ripped off store awnings, flipped mobile homes
and knocked down electrical poles.
High wind briefly halted air traffic at Dallas-Fort Worth International
Airport and Dallas' Love Field. Both airports reported delays. Two
tractor-trailer rigs were blown over on Interstate 20 just west of Abilene,
injuring one person and closing lanes for about an hour. Winds of 70 to 80
mph hit southwestern Oklahoma, where two small airplanes and a pontoon boat
were damaged at an airport. The gusts also damaged a hangar. A tornado was
spotted touching down 20 miles south of Lawton, the weather service
said. High winds blew off a concession stand roof at Cameron University in
Lawton, hurling it into a parking lot. There were no major injuries, school
spokesman Keith Mitchell said. The storms dumped more than 3 inches of
rain in parts of central Oklahoma, flooding an apartment complex in
Oklahoma City and closing streets."
