EF2 tornado in Canadian County, Oklahoma

This QLCS tornado likely initially developed just south of the North Canadian River to the northwest of El Reno. The tornado moved southeast breaking a utility pole on Jones Road just west of Reformatory Road. Continuing southeast, the tornado moved through a neighborhood east of Reformatory Road. At least two homes had most of the roof removed with a partial collapse of the garage. A number of other homes had varying degrees of roof damage. Trees and fences were also damaged through this neighborhood. The tornado dissipated south of this neighborhood before reaching Business Highway 40.

An intense mesoscale convective system (MCS), later classified as a derecho, swept across much of Oklahoma and portions of western-north Texas during the late evening of the 21st and predawn hours of the 22nd. Widespread reports of thunderstorm wind damage were received, especially from northwestern into central Oklahoma, including several observations of 80-100 mph gusts. This system also produced several tornadoes in central Oklahoma, including an EF-2 tornado near El Reno, OK. A slow-moving supercell preceded the convective line during the mid-evening of the 21st, producing reports of large hail west of Woodward, OK before dissipating.
