What the National Weather Service wrote
A tornado developed just south of State Highway 32 between Courtney and Rubottom and moved northeast. Tree limb damage was noted along SH-32. A house and outbuilding received roof damage and power poles were damaged near the intersection of Kennedy Road and Rubottom Road about 3 miles north of Rubottom. Spotters and chasers later observed the tornado approaching State Highway 76 and Oswalt Road before it dissipated.
This storm also produced a number of tornadoes in north Texas prior to moving into Oklahoma (see Storm Data reports for North Central Texas from NWS Fort Worth), including a tornado that approached the Red River in Montague County Texas. A storm survey noted that no damage was observed in the tree line on the north side of the Red River, so this tornado in Love County OK is a separate tornado than the tornado in Montague County TX.
