EF1 tornado in Ottawa County, Oklahoma

This tornado developed west of the S 520 Road and south of the E 130 Road. It moved east-northeast across Highway 69, then appeared to briefly move to the southeast, and then back to the east as it moved generally along the E 130 Road to where it likely dissipated, east of E St SW. Numerous trees were uprooted, a few homes were damaged, and an outbuilding was destroyed. Storm chasers observed this tornado. Based on this damage, maximum estimated wind in the tornado was 90 to 100 mph.

Severe thunderstorms developed into eastern Oklahoma during the afternoon and continued into the early evening of the 8th, ahead of an approaching cold front. Very moist and unstable air combined with strong deep layer wind shear resulted in the evolution of some supercell thunderstorms. Several tornadoes and large hail up to golf ball size occurred with the stronger storms.
