Tornado warnings were issued early Monday for Noble, Logan and Payne Counties in Oklahoma, as severe storms moved through the state. Flood warnings and additional severe thunderstorm alerts followed, while outages and reported damage added urgency.
The early morning air in parts of Oklahoma carried a warning that won’t feel theoretical for anyone waking up to it.
Tornado Warnings were issued for Noble, Logan and Payne Counties until 2 a.m., after forecasters expected large hail and damaging winds overnight Sunday—along with a slight possibility of isolated tornadoes if conditions lined up.
Storm impacts were already showing up as the clock moved past midnight. Storm damage was reported in Fairview, and high winds knocked over a train east of Woodward. In Woodward, Okla., close to 2,500 people were without power. OG&E said the outages involved several outages overnight Sunday into June 22, 2026. The first outages were reported close to 11:22 p.m., with an estimated time of restoration close to 5 a.m. Monday morning.
Near Harper, Okla., reports put the number of people without power at approximately 400.
The alert picture did not stay narrow. A Severe Thunderstorm Warning was issued, and the National Weather Service also issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning until 12 a.m. for counties listed in the live update feed. A Flood Warning was issued for the Chikaskia River near Blackwell, affecting Grant and Kay Counties.
Another Severe Thunderstorm warning was listed as issued until 10:15 p.m. for Andrew Adams’ latest severe weather update—another reminder that the situation was moving quickly enough to require constant adjustment of what mattered minute to minute.
Elsewhere, the storm’s reach extended beyond wind and power outages. Lightning sparked a field fire near Fargo, and there were reports of rainfalls near Sharon, Okla.
Coverage also pointed to broader risk. A severe Thunderstorm watch was issued for several Oklahoma Counties until 2 a.m. including Alfalfa. Dewey. Ellis. Garfield. Grant. Harper. Woods and Woodward. Another severe Thunderstorm watch was issued until 3 a.m. for additional counties listed in the live update feed.
While people in the hardest-hit areas watched for the next round of weather, the immediate question remained the same: how long would it take for power to return, and whether the warnings would expand before midnight turned fully into Monday.
