Episode Narrative Severe thunderstorms developed over eastern Oklahoma ahead of a strong cold front that was moving across the region during the morning hours of the 29th. Unseasonably warm and moist air was in place ahead of the front and very strong wind shear was present, allowing storms to become long-lived and organized. Damaging wind and a tornado resulted from these storms.
Event Narrative This is the first segment of a two-segment tornado. This tornado developed in rural, northeastern Sequoyah County, Oklahoma. It snapped or uprooted numerous trees as it moved rapidly northeast. Based on this tree damage, maximum estimated wind in the tornado was 100 to 110 mph. The tornado continued into Crawford County, Arkansas.
