UPDATE: Outbuilding Damaged When Tornado Hits NW Oklahoma (Apr 14, 2012) WOODWARD, Okla. (AP) - Several tornadoes touched down in northwestern Oklahoma, causing minor damage and a fire. The National Weather Service confirmed tornadoes about 7 miles north of Woodward and about 11 miles south of Tangier, both in Woodward County. Emergency Management Director Matt Lehenbauer said Saturday the storm near Woodward damaged a metal outbuilding and a camper, but no injuries were reported. In Woods County, a tornado was confirmed 4 miles northwest of Freedom. Emergency Management Director Steve Foster said he hadn't received any injury or damage reports.
