OKLAHOMA CITY – Reps. Ryan Eaves, R-Atoka, and Justin Humphrey, R-Lane, today responded to reports of a likely tornado that damaged homes and property in Atoka and Pushmataha counties, specifically in the communities of Bentley and Caney as well as an area at Sawmill Road south of Lane.

The National Weather Service was surveying damage Wednesday after severe weather moved through the area on Tuesday.

"We're thankful to have no reports of death or serious injury from these storms," the lawmakers said in a joint statement. "Still, we understand people suffered damage to their homes and other property, and some are without power. We're working with local and state officials to make sure everyone has what they need to recover."

Both lawmakers were in Oklahoma City for the legislative session when they got news of the storms that included a possible tornado, strong winds, heavy rain and hail.
