Friday’s strong winds caused power poles to fall on 76th Street North between Main and Mingo in Owasso. Police told KRMG a transformer blew upon hitting the ground and that sparked a grass fire on the side of the road. OPD said the fire department was able to get the fire out before it could spread. Police said 76th Street North was closed until the power company completed repairs. The road has since reopened. Much of Oklahoma is under a High Wind Warning and a Red Flag Warning until 8pm Friday.
