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.

Not rated. NOAA lists no rating for this tornado. Ratings come from surveying damage, and the National Weather Service now records “EFU” (unknown) when a tornado hit nothing a survey team could rate.

What the National Weather Service wrote

A well-developed satellite tornado was observed adjacent to the primary tornado north-northeast of Shannon. The specific location of this tornado 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 Bellevue (33.6835, -97.9934).
