Storm Collapses Tents at Oklahoma Oktoberfest Injuring at Least 30 People

OKLAHOMA CITY — More than 30 people were hurt and more than two dozen mobile homes and travel trailers were damaged as severe thunderstorms raked across Oklahoma on Wednesday, authorities said.

At least 30 people were injured when a strong storm moved through the Tulsa area, causing two tents to collapse during an Oktoberfest festival just before 7:30 p.m.

"There was some sort of tornado or microburst that picked up at least one of the tents and it collapsed on a large group of people," said Tulsa police Sgt. Michael Brown.

Brown said there were about 30 injuries reported, but more people left on their own to seek treatment.
