OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — The National Weather Service says it is increasing the number of confirmed tornadoes that touched down across the Sooner State on Friday to four.
On Friday evening, tornado sirens were sounding across the state as a line of severe thunderstorms brought large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes to much of Oklahoma.
Now, many businesses and residents are cleaning up damage left behind by those storms.

National Weather Service storm survey crews have confirmed at least four tornadoes associated with Friday’s severe weather.
The latest appears to be a preliminary EF-1 tornado near Oklahoma City Community College. Additional damage occurred to roofs, sheds, fences, trees, and even a building on the OCCC campus.
The second tornado has been preliminarily rated as an EF-0 tornado, just west to northeast of Dale in Pottawatomie County. Damage to trees and powerlines has been reported there.
The third tornado is a preliminary EF-1 tornado from west of Aydelotte to north of Shawnee in Pottawatomie County. This tornado produced mainly tree damage, though the canopy of a gas station was significantly damaged.
The fourth tornado is a preliminary EF-1 tornado west to northwest of Little in Seminole County. Crews say they have been able to find damage to trees and powerlines.
Officials say additional analysis will be ongoing in the coming days, so additional tornadoes may be confirmed.
