NOAA recorded where this tornado touched down but not where it lifted, so it appears as a point. Other tornadoes recorded nearby that day are shown faint.

What F0 means. This tornado was rated on Fujita’s original scale, used until 2007. F0 meant light damage: shingles and siding peeled, gutters torn, branches broken; the scale paired it with winds of 40–72 mph, figures later judged too high, especially toward the top of the scale, and revised downward in the Enhanced Fujita scale. Ratings then, as now, came from the damage.

What the National Weather Service wrote

A brief tornado damaged trees on the southeast side of Lake Stanley Draper between South Westminster Road and East Stanley Draper Drive near Southeast 140th Street.

The wider storm

A tropical airmass over the area produced widespread showers and a few thunderstorms. A couple of these weak storms were similar to mini-supercell thunderstorms, contained very little lightning, and produced brief tornadoes that caused some damage in central Oklahoma during the evening of June 9th.

Began near Moore (35.3333, -97.3500).
