The death toll for Friday's devastating tornadoes in Oklahoma has reached nine, according to officials on Saturday.

Additionally, over 75 people have been confirmed to be hurt, with five in critical condition.

Several tornadoes and thunderstorms wreaked havoc over parts of Oklahoma and Missouri Friday evening. Meteorologists at the National Weather Service have not yet been able to assess the exact number of storms that did damage.

The NWS was able to report, however that there were indeed "several" tornadoes involved in the damage.

Residents in the area have taken extra precaution, especially after the devastating tornado on May 20.

"My brother's house was in Moore, [Oklahoma] so it makes you take more immediate action," said resident Adrian Lillard, who was watching over her nieces, "We brought toys and snacks to try our best to keep them comfortable."

Many meteorologists noted that this was not a typical storm.

"This storm had everything you could handle at one time: tornadoes, hail, lightning, heavy rain, people clogging the highways," said meteorologist Rick Smith.

The heavy rain made it extremely difficult for residents to discern when a tornado was approaching.

"Some tornadoes are wrapped in rain, so it's basically impossible to see, which is extremely dangerous," said meteorologist Bruce Thoren, "Somebody driving along really not familiar with what's going on can basically drive into it."

Smith noted that the area was fortunate enough to only be affected in rural areas as opposed to the more heavily populated Oklahoma City.

"We were very concerned this would move into downtown," He said, "It would have been a major problem. It made all the difference that it was out in the country."

Oklahoma governor Mary Fallin explained that the tornado hit at a time when many residents were getting off work and were driving home to safety.

The state issued flash flood warnings on Saturday for central and eastern Oklahoma.
