Seminole County was relatively unscathed by severe storms that barreled through Oklahoma Saturday night, but twisters, one of them deadly, touched down in two neighboring counties.

The small community of Spaulding, which butts up against the Seminole County line in Hughes County, suffered a tornado late Saturday night that claimed the life of an elderly man and injured another person.

According to the Hughes County Emergency Management Department, the tornado was estimated to be an EF-1 with winds between 105 and 110 mph. It stayed on the ground for two miles. Sunday morning, the department posted the following to its social media page: “At approximately 10:35 p.m. last night, a tornado touched down on the west side of N 369 Rd on E 138 Rd in Spaulding. Two homes were destroyed and several small structures along with many trees suffered damage. There were two injuries including one fatality. National Weather Service Norman was on site this morning to rate tornado damage. That information will be released when available. There are numerous washouts on county roads throughout the county due to the heavy rains and flooding. The commissioners are working as fast as possible to make the county roads passable. Thanks to everyone that responded to the tornado including Spaulding Fire Department, Hughes County Sheriff’s Office, Holdenville Police Department, Hughes County EMS, Creek Nation Light Horsemen and Atwood Fire Department.”

A tornado also touched down in Ada Saturday night, marking the second time in about as many months the city has been battered by a twister. Just after 10 p.m., an EF1rated tornado touched down on the north side of that city, damaging several homes and a hotel. It then moved over a shopping center, resulting in damage to multiple businesses. According to the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management, two people were injured and transported to local hospitals. On March 4, a tornado, also an EF-1, tore through the city before dawn and left behind a five-mile trail of destruction and displaced 24 families.

More severe weather is expected across the state today and tomorrow, but as of press time, the threat remained west of Seminole County.
