What the National Weather Service wrote

This tornado was recorded by a KNWA tower cam, with time stamps provided by KNWA to the NWS Tulsa. The location was estimated based on radar data for the period of time the tornado occurred in the video recording. The path is in heavily wooded terrain, inaccessible by road, so no damage is known to have occurred with the tornado. Thus, the rating of EF-unknown.

The wider storm

Severe thunderstorms developed across eastern Oklahoma during the afternoon of the 28th, and moved into northwestern Arkansas during the evening. The thunderstorms produced damaging wind in Benton County, and one of the stronger storms produced a tornado in Carroll County.
