EF1 tornado in Hughes County, Oklahoma

The Wetumka tornado began at 310 AM CDT just south of SH 9 to the west of Wetumka. The tornado then produced damage to trees and power lines near the intersection of SH 9 and SH 27, before moving eastward. The most intense damage was consistent with EF1 damage, with trees and power pole damage just southeast of the Wetumka city limits. South of SH 9 and along N 381 Road, there were a few trees uprooted as well.

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.
