EF2 tornado in Wagoner County, Oklahoma

A tornado developed and moved across the southeastern portion of the City of Wagoner where it damaged the roofs of about a dozen homes, destroyed a carport, and snapped trees. The tornado moved across portions of Fort Gibson WMA and then across Long Bay of Fort Gibson Lake before impacting the Taylor Ferry and Long Bay Recreational Areas. In those areas, numerous campers and trailers were severely damaged or destroyed, several mobile homes were destroyed, several permanent homes were damaged, and numerous large trees were snapped or uprooted. Maximum estimated wind in the tornado based on this damage was about 115 mph. Several storm chasers, storm spotters, and citizens witnessed this tornado.

Severe thunderstorms developed along a dry line over central Oklahoma during the afternoon hours. Very unstable air and strong wind shear east of the dry line supported supercell thunderstorm structures, which persisted as the storms moved into eastern Oklahoma during the evening hours. These severe storms produced tornadoes, large hail to golfball size, and very strong damaging downburst wind across much of eastern Oklahoma.
