A tornado injured at least one person and did extensive property damage late Saturday afternoon as it ripped through parts of northeastern Oklahoma, authorities said.

The twister touched down about 6 p.m., 3 miles north of Dewey, Okla. — just south of the Kansas border, said Linda Herndon, public information officer for the Washington County Civil Emergency Management Office.

“There’s damage in an area between 5 and 9 square miles,” Herndon said. “Our preliminary estimate is there were between 10 and 30 homes damaged.”

The injured person was taken to Jane Phillips Medical Center in nearby Bartlesville, Okla., Herndon said. The extent of the injury and the person’s identity have not been released.

Washington County officials set up road blocks around the damaged area to keep people away but allowed homeowners to check on their belongings, Herndon said.

The storm toppled power lines, damaged trees and felled livestock fences in the area, she said.

The tornado appeared to take an east-by-northeast route, steering clear of busy U.S. Highway 75, she said.

“We’re really lucky there weren’t more injuries,” Herndon said.

Damage also was reported in neighboring Nowata County near the town of Wann, Okla., but officials didn’t have any firm estimates.

The tornado was part of a cluster of severe thunderstorms that bubbled up in northern and eastern sections of the state.

It was the second tornado outbreak in Oklahoma this week and the third since mid-March.
