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

Numerous storm chasers observed a brief tornado northwest of Tuttle. A television helicopter observed damage to chicken coops in the area, otherwise no other damage was reported.

The wider storm

As a closed upper low across the Baja Peninsula transitioned to an open wave and moved to the northeast, widespread convection developed from western-north Texas into much of Oklahoma during the evening of the 10th. Strong surface heating in the afternoon contributed to strong instability and, combined with increasing deep-layer wind shear, yielded an environment capable of organized thunderstorms. The most impactful storm of the event was a supercell thunderstorm that develop across west-central Oklahoma and tracked across the greater Oklahoma City metropolitan area, producing large to very large hail and a weak tornado. By mid-evening, a developing quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) produced sporadic (yet intense) thunderstorm wind damage across portions of far southern Oklahoma.

Began near Tuttle (35.3300, -97.8660).
