The episode as NWS TSA wrote it up.
Several areas of thunderstorms developed and moved across portions of northeastern Oklahoma during the day on the 10th. A home was struck by lightning from one of these storms during the afternoon, resulting in damage to the home. Localized flash flooding also occurred from the excessive rainfall that occurred in some areas.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Tulsa, OK wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 10, 12:01 PM CST, 48 minutes earlier.

GRIDS ADJUSTED FOR INCREASED POP NORTHWEST ARKANSAS AHEAD OF MCS. ENOUGH DAYLIGHT BEHIND THE MCS SO TEMPERATURES RECOVER AND REACH PREVIOUS FORECAST MAXIMUMS. GW PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 640 AM CDT THU JUL 10 2014/ AVIATION... CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM. A COMPLEX OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS IT MOVES SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING AFFECTING MOST OF THE TAF SITES. MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITHIN THE STRONGER STORMS. OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 411 AM CDT THU JUL 10 2014/ DISCUSSION... MCS OVER SOUTHERN KANSAS WAS ENTERING INTO NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA EARLY THIS MORNING...WHILE A FRONTAL BOUNDARY HAD POSITIONED ITSELF FROM SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA INTO SOUTHWEST KANSAS. SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAD ALSO DEVELOPED ACROSS SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA NEAR THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE FRONT. BOTH THE SCATTERED CONVECTION AND THE MCS WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST THIS MORNING. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AS THE MCS MOVES INTO THE CWA...AND ALSO A LIMITED SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL BE POSSIBLE AS THE MCS INTERACTS WITH THE FRONT. STRONG WINDS AND HAIL WOULD BE THE MAIN HAZARDS. GREATER CHANCES FOR PRECIP WILL BE WITH THE MCS ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS AND SHIFT EASTWARD THIS AFTERNOON AS THE MCS DECAYS AND THE FRONT LIFTS NORTHEASTWARD AS A WARM FRONT. ONGOING PRECIP AND CLOUD COVER WILL LOOK TO HINDER HIGH TEMPS THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA INTO NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. HOWEVER...WITH THE FRONT PUSHING THOUGH...A LATE AFTERNOON TEMPERATURE RALLY COULD BE POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA. THUS...HIGHS IN THE 80S TO LOWER 90S FROM NORTH TO SOUTH LOOKS POSSIBLE. THE WARM FRONT IS EXPECTED TO EXIT THE REGION AND SHIFT PRECIP CHANCES OFF TO THE EAST THIS EVENING. OVERNIGHT TONIGHT...SOUTHERLY WINDS RETURN TO THE REGION AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD BACK OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BECOMES THE DOMINATE FEATURE OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS UNDERNEATH THE HIGH WILL ALLOW FOR HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS TO RETURN ACROSS THE CWA. HIGH IN THE UPPER 90S/AROUND 100 DEGREES LOOK LIKELY OVER MUCH OF THE REGION. LATE IN THE WEEKEND A CANADIAN LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO APPROACH THE GREAT LAKES REGION WITH A WEAK COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE PLAINS. THIS BOUNDARY LOOKS TO PUSH INTO THE CWA SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY AND BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY. A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS FRONT...MAINLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN PART OF THE CWA. INDICATIONS ARE THAT TEMPERATURES WITH THIS FRONT DO NOT LOOK TO BE AFFECT TOO MUCH...THUS CONTINUING HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS FOR THE START OF THE NEXT WORK WEEK. A MORE SIGNIFICANT COLD FRONT LOOKS TO PUSH INTO THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY AS THE CANADIAN LOW MOVES OVER THE GREAT LAKES. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR CONTINUED PRECIP CHANCES TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AND THE POTENTIAL FOR MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES. LATEST EXTENDED MODEL SOLUTIONS INDICATE THAT HIGH TEMPS AROUND THE MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK COULD BE IN THE 70S/80S...SO WE COULD HAVE THAT GOING FOR US...WHICH IS NICE. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
