Highway patrols reported on treated trees and transmission lines, as well as damage to residential and commercial buildings after some areas strongly influenced by “tornadoes, thunderstorms and a great hail”.

The huge storm system moving all over the country released the winds that started storms from dust and forbidden more than 100 fires.
It is predicted that extreme time, and the winds of hurricanes will also go into an area where more than 100 million people are located. The winds that blew up to 130 kilometers per hour (80 miles per hour) are scheduled from the Canadian border to Texas, threatening the conditions of Blizzard in the cooler northern areas and the risks of fire in the warmer, dry areas in the south.
Evacuation has been ordered in some communities in Oklahoma, as more than 130 fires have been reported throughout the country. Highway patrols in Oklahoma said the winds were so powerful that they demolished several tractor trailers. The governor of the state said the fires were damaged or destroyed by more than 200 homes.
