Several Boats Damaged, Total Loss At Oklahoma Marina After Severe Storms

Monday night’s storms sent boats flying at Lake Thunderbird. The owner of the Calypso Cove Marina said 10 boats were submerged and at least two boats were on top of other boats.

“A buddy called and said you need to go check on your boat,” said David Sparks.

Sparks found his boat underneath a pontoon that was flipped onto its top. He was out at the marina Tuesday, trying to salvage what he can. He said his boat will be a total loss.

It’s actually the second boat Sparks has lost to storms. “Me and tornadoes at Lake Thunderbird,” he laughed.

News 9 Chief Meteorologist David Payne said it was actually likely high winds that caused all the damage.
