What the National Weather Service wrote

A storm chaser observed a tornado estimated to be approximately 3 miles north of Chickasha. No damage was reported in the immediate area of the tornado, although the storm was producing wind damage about three miles farther north.

The wider storm

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.

Began near Chickasha Arpt (35.1050, -97.9310).
