Severe Weather Hits Oklahoma and Texas

Severe weather has been affecting Oklahoma and Texas, with six tornadoes reported in southwest Oklahoma and a tornado watch issued for several counties, although the threat diminished later in the day. The Oklahoma weather system also led to significant rain and damaging winds of up to 80 mph, impacting driving conditions and causing school closures. In Texas, a severe weather system brought 60 mph winds and heavy rain, causing potential damage and flooding across North Texas, including the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Residents have been advised to seek shelter and avoid risky areas, with a focus on safety during thunderstorms and lightning risks. Cold fronts are expected to follow the storms in both regions, bringing cooler temperatures.
