Severe storms ravaged Oklahoma and Texas on Friday spawning tornadoes, often rain-wrapped, large hail, high winds, and flooding rains. Two supercells in Oklahoma were responsible for most of that state’s isues as they trekked along I-44 into the extreme southern parts of the OKC Metro area. One produced several hard to see tornadoes while the other left hail and flooding behind.
