Severe storms spawned a dozen reported tornadoes in Oklahoma and Arkansas on Thursday, according to Reuters .

The storms sent residents scrambling for cover 10 days after a powerful twister killed 24 people in Oklahoma.

The National Weather Service confirmed at least one tornado touched down in the Tulsa area, the Associated Press reported.

The tornado on Thursday night touched down in the Tulsa suburb of Broken Arrow. It's not clear how much damage the storm caused as it moved through.

Earlier in the day, tornadoes touched down in Oklahoma and Arkansas, injuring at least nine people.

In Cushing, Okla., a critical hub for the U.S. oil markets northeast of Oklahoma City, a heavy storm passed through without damaging tanks that store more than 50 million barrels of oil, said Bob Noltensmeyer, Cushing's emergency management director. Stormwatchers told CNN that they observed a small tornado touching down briefly in Cushing and the nearby city of Perkins.

A second tornado with the same storm was reported near the rural town of Ripley, but didn't seem to cause significant damage, the Associated Press reported.

And about 3,500 people were without power in Texas' Dallas County after the area was hit by storms that were accompanied by 70 mph winds, UPI reported.
The storms that hit North Texas Wednesday evening brought down power lines and trees, and blew away sections of a new Hurricane Harbor water ride in Arlington, the Dallas Morning News reported.

Quarter-sized hail was also reported in Dallas and Denton counties.
