What the National Weather Service wrote

A storm chaser posted a photo on X/Twitter of a well-developed tornado estimated to be approximately 7 miles east of Pauls Valley. Despite the well-developed character of the tornado, no damage was reported. It is unknown how long this tornado lasted.

The wider storm

Another widespread thunderstorm and severe weather period impacted the southern one-half of Oklahoma and adjacent north Texas on the evening of the 25th. This event included several supercell thunderstorms across this area, including a cyclic tornadic supercell that moved in areas south of Wichita Falls, Texas into Archer and Clay Counties. Several other (generally brief) tornadoes occurred with storms across south-central and southeastern Oklahoma, though signal of residual inhibition and numerous storm interactions on the cool side of a quasi-stationary boundary generally limited low-level mesocyclone organization and longevity. Large hail and sporadic wind damage also occurred with storms across the region.

Began near Pauls Valley (34.7400, -97.0967).
