NOAA recorded where this tornado touched down but not where it lifted, so it appears as a point. Other tornadoes recorded nearby that day are shown faint.

What EF0 means. On the Enhanced Fujita scale, EF0 is light damage: shingles and siding peeled, gutters torn, branches broken, consistent with estimated gusts of 65–85 mph. The rating comes from a survey of the worst damage after the storm, not from a wind measurement, so it says as much about what the tornado hit as about how strong it was.

What the National Weather Service wrote

A small tornado was observed and photographed near Carmen. No damage was reported, and the tornado was estimated to have occurred approximately 5 miles west-southwest of Lambert.

The wider storm

Solar insolation near and beneath a strong surface low led to the development of scattered shallow convection across northern Oklahoma on the afternoon of the 24th. A brief tornado was documented with one of these thunderstorms in Alfalfa County, Oklahoma.

Began near Lambert (36.6523, -98.5034).
