The second possible tornado happened near northwest Hobart.
Shelter-in-place
The Office of Emergency Management recommends people should shelter-in-place during tornado warnings. Oklahoma City does not have public storm shelters.
Shelter-in-place means to take shelter where you are and remain inside your home, workplace or nearby buildings.
Take shelter in a closet, interior hallway or other interior room with no windows on the lowest level of the house or building. Put on a helmet if you have one, and wear sturdy shoes in case you later have to walk through debris.
People who live in trailers or manufactured homes should have a plan to seek shelter in a well-constructed building nearby.
People who live on upper levels of apartment buildings should seek shelter with a neighbor in an apartment on the lowest level.
Plan ahead to be in a safe place before storms arrive.
The best way to protect yourself from tornadoes at home is to install a safe room or below-ground storm shelter.
If you hear a siren, immediately take shelter and get more information about the storm.
