Tornadoes Hit Oklahoma, Arkansas; 1 Dead, Several Injured

Jason St. Amand READ TIME: 1 MIN.

A National Weather Service meteorologist says it was likely a tornado that struck a mobile home park in a Tulsa suburb, leaving one person dead.

Meteorologist Joe Sellers said Thursday that survey teams are going to Sand Springs to confirm whether or not it was a tornado, but that video footage he's seen suggests it was.

State Department of Emergency Services spokeswoman Keli Cain said Thursday that at least nine people were hospitalized with injuries suffered in the storms. She said the total number of injuries isn't yet known.

Just more than 20,000 power outages were reported Thursday morning, down from nearly 80,000 Wednesday night.
