SEMINOLE, Okla. — A suspected tornado touched down outside Oklahoma City on Wednesday, causing what appeared from televised reports to be minor damage and briefly trapping some people who were later rescued, authorities said.

Seminole County Undersheriff Matt Haley told KOCO-TV that there were reports of people trapped because of the damage in the community of Seminole, but crews were able to get them out.

Seminole is a city of about 7,500 people about 60 miles southeast of Oklahoma City.
