What EF1 means. On the Enhanced Fujita scale, EF1 is moderate damage: roofs badly stripped, mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned, windows broken, consistent with estimated gusts of 86–110 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

This tornado developed just east of Highway 69, northeast of Summit, where trees were uprooted, homes were damaged, and power poles were snapped. The tornado moved northeast across Highway 64, damaging numerous homes, snapping and uprooting trees, and snapping power poles. It then crossed Highway 351 and turned to the east along Hancock Street, before crossing the Arkansas River and dissipating east of Highway 10. A few trees were uprooted and numerous large tree limbs were snapped in the path east of Highway 351. Based on this damage, maximum estimated wind in the tornado was 100 to 110 mph.

The wider storm

Strong to severe thunderstorms developed over central Oklahoma during the early evening of the 14th, ahead of a dry line and an approaching upper level disturbance. The thunderstorms moved eastward into eastern Oklahoma during the late evening as they organized into a squall line. The line of thunderstorms produced several tornadoes and damaging wind.

Another round of strong to severe thunderstorms developed across portions of eastern Oklahoma during the afternoon and evening of the 15th. The strongest thunderstorms produced large hail up to two inches in diameter and damaging wind.

Began near Meyer (35.6760, -95.4150).
