A tornado struck a city in Oklahoma on Thursday night as a severe weather threat stretched from Texas to the Great Lakes, the National Weather Service said.
The tornado
hit the city of Enid
, Okla., and was heading toward the nearby town of Fairmont,
according to the Weather Service
. It struck Vance Air Force Base in Enid, Sheriff Lou Vallario of Garfield County said in an interview with KOCO, a local television station.
The tornado moved through a residential area, an airport and several colleges, the local news media reported.
Sheriff Vallario said that many homes had been damaged, though officials did not have an exact count yet. There were no immediate reports of injuries, he said.
The Weather Service had warned of a particularly dangerous situation — indicating that strong and violent tornadoes are possible — for Garfield County until 10 p.m. local time. Dozens of tornado warnings remained in place across Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska late Thursday.
This is a developing story.
