Harrah Family Surveys Damage After Severe Weather Damages Farm

Metro communities are helping each other after Sunday night's violent storms. On Monday, residents started cleaning up the mess left behind.

Those at the Beam Farm said the storm moved quickly through. They not only lost some of their animals, but they have damage scattered across their property.

"It was loud," said Stephany Beam. "You couldn't hear the other people around you."

Beam, her husband Craig, and their son were at home last night when high winds ripped through their farm.

"We heard the wind howling," Craig Beam said.

They quickly took shelter and waited for the storm to pass. Afterward, Stephany Beam wanted to go check on the animals.

"I rushed outside, and my main thing was, 'let me get my animals and get them safe,'" Stephany Beam said.

Several of their goat and chicken pins were destroyed. One of them torn apart and thrown into a bush.  They even lost an incubator full of eggs due to the power being out. Tree limbs were ripped down across their property.  

Craig Beam said they have thousands of dollars' worth of damage.

"Four years' worth of work for what I had, and it's pretty much destroyed in a matter of minutes," said Craig Beam.

However, the good news for the Beams, several people in the community have stepped in to help clean up around the area. 

The extent of Sunday night's damage was statewide. 

News 9 spoke to another farmer Monday morning near Anadarko who saw significant damage. He said they've lost their fall crops, their irrigation system and holes in their fences which will impact them moving forward financially.

Those with Beam Farm said they're hopeful they can get most of the area cleaned up and everything back up and running normal soon.
