Though no warnings of significant winds were reported, some trees — and structures — apparently sustained minor damage Thursday.
According to EF ratings, the type of damage seen usually doesn't occur until winds are about 65-85 miles per hour.
"NWS Norman advised they have a reading (at that time) of only 53 mph," Shawnee Emergency Manager Rachelle Erickson said.
“Nothing popped on the radar,” she said. "NWS Norman is doing a full review for me but said it was a downburst at 1:15 p.m."
Snapped trees could be seen in a path near the Gordon Cooper Technology Center Aviation Center, around SSM Health St. Anthony Hospital-Shawnee and north into a neighborhood around Kickapoo and 39th Street, she said.
