A tornado that was at least an EF1, with wind speeds between 86-110 mph (138-177 kph), struck the area of Purcell, some 40 miles (65 kilometers) south of Oklahoma City, said Phillip Ware, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Norman. He said crews will also be surveying damage in the Shawnee area, where another tornado was confirmed by radar.
"We're confident we had at least two tornadoes this morning," Ware said.
