Storm survey teams from the National Weather Service spent Sunday surveying damage from two tornadoes that touched down in Oklahoma on Saturday.
Meteorologists assigned a preliminary rating of EF2 to the storm that carved a 35 mile path of damage from southwest of Elmer to east of Snyder in far southwest Oklahoma.
The hour-long twister also briefly moved through far north Texas.

Several buildings were damaged or destroyed, but there were no reported injuries or deaths.
