EF1 tornado in Latimer County, Oklahoma

A tornado snapped or uprooted a number of large trees in the San Bois Mountains. This area was not reachable by road and thus was surveyed by a citizen on an ATV who found hundreds of trees downed in multiple directions. The exact beginning point and end point could not be accessed but this tornado was on the ground for at least 2.5 miles.

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.
