A widespread damaging wind event occurred over a large portion of

the early morning hours of the 10th. A complex of severe
thunderstorms developed over northern and western Oklahoma and moved
east over central Oklahoma. Severe wind gusts were reported from
around Cheyenne in far western Oklahoma, all the way eastward to
Calvin in Hughes county. The most severe portion of the complex,
which yielded structural damage and power outages, moved over
