Parts of Oklahoma and Kansas are counting the injured and surveyed the damage today after tornadoes and other powerful winds swept through.

 Police in Norman, Oklahoma, responded last night to storm damage in parts of the city, about 20 miles south of Oklahoma City. Officials said there were 12 confirmed weather-related injuries there, none considered critical.

 Crews canvassed the damaged area looking for others who might be injured. Possible tornadoes and wind gusts as high as 90 mph were reported in Oklahoma, with downed trees and power lines, road closures, and damage to homes around Norman and Shawnee.

 Frances Tabler, of Norman, told KOCO-TV that she suffered a small cut on her head when a storm hit her home, tearing off much of its roof and sending debris flying. She said it was a miracle her children weren't hurt, although her daughter was trapped for a while in a bedroom.

 A tornado touched down last night near Liberal. More than a dozen homes were reported damaged, according to KSNW-TV. One person had minor injuries.

 Bob Oravec, a lead forecaster for the National Weather Service says there were reports of nine tornadoes in Kansas, Oklahoma, and northwestern Texas. Weather service teams are surveying storm damage today to determine the strength of the tornadoes.

 

The severe weather threat remains today, with thunderstorms expected to produce damaging gusts across the Ohio Valley, according to the Storm Prediction Center. At least a few tornadoes are possible, especially across Ohio this afternoon.
