Bruce Thoren, a meteorologist at the local NWS, said tornadoes were present in Ada and near Courtney, Oswalt, Lebanon and Spaulding. More areas are under investigation, such as an area in Carter County, three miles away from the city of Wilson.
"There are double-digit tornado tracks that we're going to look at," he said.
A tornado that swept through Marshall County left two homes completely destroyed and damaged about 20, said Marshall County Emergency Management Director William Macon, who added that the department was conducting assessments Sunday morning. The Powell Church of Christ and a gas station called Crossroads at the intersection of highway 77 and highway 32 were also damaged.
"Some of them were severely damaged. We had trees down, powerlines down, road signs damaged, trees damaged. Private property damaged-sides, roofs, windows all blown out — things like that," Macon said.
However, no injuries or fatalities were reported, Macon said.
Love County Emergency Management Director Trenton Barrick said only one home in the county was damaged by the tornado that hit the area.
The Hughes County Emergency Department and the Carter County Emergency Department could not be reached for comment because the offices are closed during weekends.
