According to reports from local emergency managers, three homes in Jackson County were damaged when a strong line of storms moved through the area Monday evening around 7 p.m.

The storm brought high winds with gusts up to 65 mph and marble-sized hail.

"One mobile home in Headrick was destroyed," said Jackson County Emergency Manager Jerry Gibson, "and a house was damaged."

Lloyd Colston, Altus Emergency Manager, reported a house had roof damage. The homeowner estimated the damage at $5,000.

Kay Winningham of Olustee reported that the tin roof on their barn was torn off by the high winds and that a 2x4 was blown through her back window leaving her den filled with hail.

"This was an insured loss," according to Colston. "There was not enough damage reported to Emergency Management to justify a disaster declaration."

Emergency Management officials sounded the sirens in Altus in accordance with the County plan. The plan, linked to http://altusem.us, calls for sirens in Altus to sound when a severe thunderstorm warning is issued by the Weather Service while the area is under a Tornado Watch.

Citizens are encouraged to their local emergency manager for information about disaster recovery, mitigation, response and recovery.
