  Severe thunderstorms moved across northern Oklahoma during the
  afternoon and evening of the 10th, and continued through the overnight
  hours of the 11th. The thunderstorm across northwest Oklahoma produced
  large hail, but the storms across north central and northeast Oklahoma
  produced mostly strong and damaging winds. Thunderstorm winds gusted to
  80 miles per hour at Leach and near Rose, and wind gusts of 60 to 70
  MPH occurred at several other locations across eastern Oklahoma.

  Numerous trees and tree limbs were downed at Stilwell and Westville,
  and strong winds persisted for 30 minutes at both locations.
  Thunderstorm winds downed trees near Enid, at West Siloam Springs,
  Talequah, Fairland, Eufala, Ramona, and Cleora, with 4 inch diameter
  limbs downed just southeast of Vinita. A downed tree blocked a road
  near Oologah. Power lines were downed at Talequah, and on the
  Tulsa/Rogers County line near Interstate 44 and 161st East Avenue
  southwest of Catoosa. Power poles were downed at Ramona and Perry.

  A severe thunderstorm downed trees and damaged the roof of a house in
  Ponca City. A severe thunderstorm downed trees and tore the awning off
  a building in Blackwell. Large trees were downed by the wind at the
  Woolaroc ranch 7 miles north northeast of Barnsdall. Plate glass
  windows were blown out in Fairfax, and a porch was blown off a house in
  Cleora. Strong thunderstorm winds 2 miles south of Nowata downed
  several large trees, partially tore wooden roofs off several buildings,
  and tore a tin roof off of a barn.

  Also heavy rainfall from the thunderstorms caused flash flooding in
  Enid. Rainfall of 2.88 inches was reported in Enid, but up to 4 inches
  of rain just north of Enid. Street flooding was widespread around Enid.
  Part of the roof of an Enid meat company collapsed under the weight of
  the heavy rain on the roof. Much of the Enid Correctional Center was
  severe damaged by the flooding. In 10 minutes the ground below the
  facility went from being dry to under 6 feet of water. The center's
  kitchen and laundry area were wiped out, as was all first floor
  housing. Ice machines, freezers, washers, dryers, and lawn mowers were
  destroyed. Three vans were flooded, and inmate property was washed
  away. Four inmates who were trapped by the rapidly rising waters had to
  be rescued.
