COWETA, Okla. (AP) — Several reported tornadoes ripped through Oklahoma late Sunday into early Monday morning, causing damage but no immediate word of deaths or injuries.

The severe weather system also brought heavy rain, lightning and wind to parts of Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Texas.

Tornado warnings and reports of damage popped up across Oklahoma beginning Sunday afternoon. An exact number of tornadoes that touched down was not yet available as of early Monday.

A possible tornado struck the Tulsa suburb of Coweta late Sunday causing significant damage to a high school, homes and a gas station, news outlets reported.

The neighbor had a large tree fall on his cars that were in the driveway. I will never understand the Oklahoma thing about having so much junk you can't get your car into the garage. Ours are always in the garage.

I'm cleaning mine now and my car has been in my driveway since Aug 1st, so that I can clean the garage. It's taken me that long! Heat is a major factor. I also had to convince hubby to get rid of tons of junk. When he saw that rats had eaten one of his many tents, I think that was the last straw...LOL Everything needs to go. We even got rid of all our Christmas decorations.

Also, everything needs to be timed so that the city can come pick up our junk on October 18th. (But I had to look up my pick up date online before I even started cleaning the garage) It's an ordeal. Hubby's truck won't fit in the garage even when it's clean.



It may also go back to the days when garages were detached or didn't exist...(carports, duplexes etc)

I see alot of homes here, where they have converted garages to family rooms. My in-laws included. I can't stand that....They keep all their junk in a shed...ugh...
