EF2 tornado in Caddo County, Oklahoma

Storm chasers initially observed a tornado develop southwest of Anadarko and move east-northeast. Damage was reported to a hangar at the Anadarko airport just south of town. The most significant damage was about 5 miles east of Anadarko where a roof was removed from a home. Although the tornado itself passed just south of Anadarko, the storm produced widespread wind damage within the town of Anadarko (see separate entry).

An unseasonably warm and moist airmass was in place across the region ahead of a powerful upper wave moving out of the 4 corners region. This led to the development of numerous severe thunderstorms across Oklahoma and Texas during the afternoon and evening of the 10th. Several tornadoes were reported, along with hail larger than baseballs that impacted Norman, OK for the second time in six months, leading to millions of dollars in damages once again to homes, cars, and businesses.
