What the National Weather Service wrote
Numerous severe thunderstorms developed amidst an increasing low-level jet/isentropic ascent regime during the early morning hours of the 11th. Sufficient wind shear and instability allowed for organized modes (both cells and small lines) from west-central into southeastern Oklahoma. The strongest storms produced reports of wind damage and large hail. Given favorable antecedent conditions for flash flooding, a few reports of urban and creek flooding were noted across the central and southern forecast area. A lightning induced fire at a residence near the community of Edmond also lead to one indirect injury.
