OKLAHOMA (KFOR) – Violent storms tore through parts of Oklahoma Monday night.

Damage has been reported in the Oklahoma City metro and eastern Oklahoma after the National Weather Service issued a Potentially Dangerous Situation (PDS) Tornado Watch on Monday afternoon.

Currently, there is one reported death in Barnsdall after an EF2 or EF3 tornado ripped through the town around 10 p.m. on Monday. Officials say there is also extensive storm damage reported in the area as well as in Bartlesville.

Some businesses in the metro have also reported damage. The Jess Ashley & Sons painting company in southeast OKC was hit by the severe storms.

Garfield and Kingfisher Counties saw minor damage from the overnight storms. Street signs were blown over, sheet metal was found wrapped in a fence and damaged powerlines were reported.

Garfield Co. officials say there are barns with damage and at least one roof partially torn off near Hennessey and Lacey in Kingfisher Co. No injuries were reported.

Storm damaged is still being assessed after the May 6 storms. It is currently unknown how many tornadoes touched down in the state or how many people have been injured.

OG&E is reminding residents to stay away from downed power lines and broken power poles, and damage to cross arms and other equipment connected to power poles.

According to OG&E, as of 7:45 a.m., there are around 9,600 customers without service due to the storms. Crews are currently working to restore power as soon as possible.
