Warnings were issued for several counties, including Noble, Oklahoma, and Cleveland, with tornado sirens heard throughout the metro area, including the University of Oklahoma campus in Norman. Tree damage was reported in several locations across the metro area.

The flight carrying the Indiana Pacers on their way to Oklahoma City for the NBA Finals was diverted to Tulsa International Airport after the tornado-warned storms made them unable to land at Will Rogers International Airport.

The storms also led to heavy rains and flooding, and roads were also washed out by floodwaters in McClain County.
