What the National Weather Service wrote

Storm chasers observed a tornado northeast of Windthorst and west-southwest of Bluegrove. This tornado occurred over open rangeland and no specific damage was reported. The tornado path is estimated.

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 Bluegrove (33.6180, -98.3640).
