Tornado in Rogers County, Oklahoma

A storm chaser observed/recorded a tornado from 824 pm CST through 826 pm CST. The tornado's estimated location was based on radar data and his observations. It remained over open country, and produced no known damage.

Severe thunderstorms developed into eastern Oklahoma during the late afternoon of the 6th, ahead of a surface dry line, and moved across the area through the evening hours. The atmosphere had become strongly unstable across eastern Oklahoma during the afternoon east of the dry line. This instability, combined with very strong low-level and deep-layer wind shear across the region, resulted in the evolution of several long-lived supercell thunderstorms. These supercells produced eleven tornadoes, a couple of which were strong and damaging, large hail up to quarter size, damaging wind gusts, and localized flash flooding.
