EF1 tornado in Caddo County, Oklahoma

Several storm spotters observed a tornado that moved 13 miles from southwest of Fort Cobb to Fort Cobb Lake to SW of Albert. This tornado was observed to be multiple vortex at times. Near the beginning of the tornado path, a barn and cattle pens were damaged. As the tornado approached Fort Cobb Lake, the Oklahoma Mesonet weather station just south of Fort Cobb Lake reported a wind gust of 91 mph at 5:08 pm CST before a large irrigation pivot from a nearby field knocked the instrument tower down.

A powerful storm system moving through the southern Great Plains produced tornadoes, large hail, damaging winds and flooding across parts of Oklahoma and western north Texas on November 7-8, 2011.

The strong storm system generated severe weather including tornadoes, large hail, damaging winds and flooding from the early afternoon of November 7th through the early morning of November 8th. Several supercell thunderstorms developed over southwest Oklahoma during the mid-afternoon hours and moved northeast. One particularly nasty supercell thunderstorm developed over northern Wilbarger county in north Texas. This thunderstorm moved northeast into Tillman county, eventually producing at least eight tornadoes over a five county area. Two of the tornadoes moved near two Oklahoma Mesonet sites, both taking direct hits. The Mesonet site at Tipton measured 86.4 mph before it was destroyed. The Mesonet site near Fort Cobb measured 91.4 mph before it was destroyed. Both sites also recorded significant drops in surface pressure. Other supercells over southwest Oklahoma eventually congealed into a complex of storms and moved east into central Oklahoma. Numerous reports of high winds (92 mph near Clinton, OK) and hail up to golf ball-size were reported. The severe threat transitioned to a heavy rain and high threat after sunset.
