Hailstorm damages wheat fields, homes in southwestern Oklahoma

Whittington said the storm blew the roof off a local diner and destroyed three of his sheriff's department vehicles.

Wheat farmers may have suffered the worst damage, though, with the giant hail obliterating most of the area's crop in a matter of minutes. The wheat was especially susceptible to storm damage because it was nearly mature, with harvest scheduled to kick off Tuesday.

“It was a pretty damn hard blow to a farming community that's trying to come back from a devastating drought last year,” Whittington said.
