'Take Sirens Seriously': Tree Branch Breaks Through Sand Springs Home During Storms

Thousands of people are still without power and cleaning up after last night’s devastating storms swept through Green Country.

Tess Mack was downstairs with her family when the storm hit.

When she came upstairs, her daughter noticed there was a branch that had crashed through her ceiling.

"I quickly just divert, crisis diverted, like ran back downstairs and got everyone settled, and then assessed the damage and then really just could not believe what I saw," said Mack.

Mack was one of the thousands in Sand Springs that woke up to debris all over their homes, yards, and driveways.

Many people say that after last night, they are still in shock.

"Banging and sirens, sirens left and right, like maybe every five minutes on the dot,” said Madison Lee. “There was another siren going off, for police or fire, or medical, or something like that. This is the most chaotic I've seen it."

Neighbors like Lee spent the day cleaning up and helping others pick up their debris.

She says her neighbors across the street had more damage, so they wanted to help.

"My boyfriend, he has a great heart, he sent and got his Sawzall, and he was like come on, let's go get this clear, so we got it clear, so now she can drive out of her driveway,” said Lee.

Mack is thankful she and her family went downstairs and stayed weather aware because if not, this storm could have been a whole lot worse.

"Especially living in Oklahoma, we've heard sirens like a million times,” said Mack. “You kind of get immune to those sirens, like it's not that big of a deal, it's just heavy winds. But I am so thankful this time that I decided to stay safe and take cover, because I never know where that branch was going to land if we were all in the living room."
