At about five-twenty yesterday evening, a large tornado was reported on the ground in the area of Crowder and moving toward Quinton, however an hour later, driving from Enterprise, through Quinton, Featherston, Blocker, Bristow Point and Crowder there was no evidence of storm damage and no one we talked to had heard of any.

Eufaula Unscathed
At the Eufaula marina, last night, restaurants were serving customers and everything seemed normal.  The Eufaula Carnival was full of kids enjoying rides and parents enjoying the cool evening breeze.  Longtown had no damage, but there was widespread power outtage overnight that started around seven pm.  Most of Longtown had electricity by six this morning, but some areas were without power until 10:30am Sunday.  Unfortunately, other areas were less fortunate.

The area of Haywood, just south of McAlester, reported houses damaged by a tornado. There were reports of damage to homes and power lines in the rural areas outside Clayton in Pushmataha County.  People are reportedly trapped in their storm cellars in Pittsburg County near Yanush. And houses were reported damaged and of course, extreme damage was reported in Picher, in northeast Oklahoma, with the loss of seven lives.
