The blue dots are thunderstorm-generated winds of 58 mph or stronger. The strongest has been a gust of 114 mph clocked at the Wheeler, TX weather station.
In addition, here is a very preliminary map of tornado touchdowns in Oklahoma.
I-35 at Tonkawa, OK is closed due to power lines across the highway.
As for power outages, so far about 100,000 homes and businesses are without power in Oklahoma, north Texas and New Mexico.
As of this time, the lines of thunderstorms continue to move east.
Reds are areas of high winds as of 10:55pm.
For Meteorologists
Be sure and look at this OUN tornado proximity sounding. It was taken 15-20 minutes before the tornado arrived almost on top of the launch site. Note the inversion. The strong dynamics blew it out and combined with 1,000+ 0-1km SRH to produce what (very preliminarily) looks like an EF-2 tornado in southeast Norman.
