OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Heavy rain and wind pounded parts of Oklahoma, leaving minor damage and flooding in parts of the state.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the Emergency Medical Services Authority reported at least 25 injury and non-injury accidents on Thursday, mainly in central Oklahoma. None were fatal.

Tornado warnings were issued for Hughes and Pushmataha counties, but there was no immediate confirmation that anything touched down.

According to the National Weather Service, winds of an unknown speed damaged a metal barn and snapped several power poles near Weleetka in Okfuskee County. The weather service says a 71-mph wind gust was reported in Payne County near Stillwater, and a gust downed a tree near Loco in Stephens County.

Flash flood warnings were issued for eight counties in eastern Oklahoma, including the Tulsa area.
