Storms rolling through the Southern Plains left a trail of destruction late Saturday night. Damaging storms destroyed numerous houses and trees after midnight, when many were trying to sleep.

An approaching trough sparked storms down in the New Mexico and Texas area before moving them into the state of Oklahoma. When they were moving through New Mexico and Texas, they were putting down 2-3 in diameter hailstones.

As the shear increased in the evening, so did the tornado threat. Numerous tornado warnings were issued, including a confirmed tornado warning for parts of Oklahoma and Lincoln Counties. Debris was spotted on radar being lofted over 15,000 feet in the air at one point.

The Oklahoma City Fire Department told local media that several structures sustained damage. They went on to mention five individuals were transported to local hospitals with non life-threatening injuries. The National Weather Service office in Norman has plans to survey the damage at daylight, but it will depend on the next round of storms rolling through Sunday.
