Tornadoes were confirmed in northwest and northern parts of Kingfisher County as storms ravaged other parts of the state from early Monday afternoon and into the morning hours of Tuesday.

According to Kingfisher County Emergency Management Director Ryan Deatherage, “multiple tornadoes” hit Kingfisher County from its northwest borders, through the northern part of Hennessey and then in a northeasterly direction out of the county.

Deatherage and his crews were assessing damage as soon as possible.

“There’s been quite a bit of damage along (State Highway) 51,” Deatherage said. “We’ve seen several barns destroyed.”

That included some downed power lines.

Western Farmers Electric Cooperative had poles knocked down that fed Cimarron Electric Cooperative’s substation in Lacey.

At its peak, Cimarron Electric had about 700 outages, according to CEO Aaron Roark.

However, by Tuesday morning Cimarron crews were finishing up the last of those outages.

Roark said damages to Cimarron-owned assets “were minimal.”

Deatherage said there had not been any reports of injuries by noon Tuesday.

He also said, as of that time, his crews had not witnessed any damage to homes.

“That doesn’t mean there isn’t any,” he said. “We just haven’t run across it yet. Everything we’ve seen so far has been to agriculture buildings, shops, sheds, things like that.”

Deatherage did ask anyone who has experienced damage to report it to damage. ok.gov.

He said that will help in two areas.

One, it assists the National Weather Service is determining the strength of the storm and, second, it also helps determine if Kingfisher County can be included in any state or federal disaster assistance if it’s declared.

Storm sirens sounded off in multiple county towns Monday night as the system made its way through, including Loyal as at least one tornado was confirmed in that area.

Deatherage was headed to Loyal around noon Tuesday to assess damage in that area.

Oklahoma Highway Patrol confirmed a tornado six miles west of Kingfisher, which prompted the sirens here.

Sirens also sounded off in Dover.

Okarche was in the path of a tornado warned storm later in the evening.

“As it came into Okarche, it fell apart,” Deatherage said.

The OHP, Kingfisher County Sheriff’s Office, Kingfisher Police Department and all of the county’s fire departments were helping KCEM spot storms, Deatherage noted.

Heavy rains made their mark throughout the county.

Monday night rainfall amounts ranged from 2.10 inches at the National Weather Service station in Kingfisher to .3 inch at Okarche Grain and Feed eight miles west of Okarche.

Other Monday night rainfall reports included 1.5 inches at CHS Elevator at Hennessey and 1.5 inches at both the Cashion Grain and Feed Elevator and Omega CHS Elevator.

While some light hail was reported across the county no serious damage to small grain fields was reported.

Three-day rainfall amounts according to the Mesonet included: Kingfi sher, 4.05 inches; Marshall, 3.97 inches; El Reno, 1.34 inches; Watonga, 1.14 inches; Guthrie, 3.81 inches, and Lahoma, .93 inch.

Tuesday dawned clear and bright with a forecast of clearing weather for the immediate future.

The rain caused rises on local creeks and the Cimarron River but only light localized flooding. While froth was spotted on the river, it did not exceed its banks.
