Episode Narrative Strong to severe thunderstorms developed during the early morning hours of August 10th near a stationary frontal boundary that extended across eastern Oklahoma. Strong, damaging winds occurred across much of eastern Oklahoma as these storms moved across the region as well as a tornado.
Event Narrative This is the third of three segments of this tornado. As the tornado crossed back into Mayes County, it destroyed a double wide mobile home and damaged a single wide mobile home just north of the E590 Road. A woman was killed in the double wide mobile home and two people were injured in the other mobile home. Trees were uprooted and snapped and debris from the double wide mobile home was transported several hundred yards downstream. The tornado damaged another mobile home south of the E580 Road where it destroyed a greenhouse. Numerous trees were uprooted and snapped along the path until the tornado dissipated just south of the E570 Road. Based on this damage, maximum estimated wind in this segment of the tornado was about 125 mph.
August is one of the least active months for tornadoes in this part of the country so the intensity of this tornado was even more unusual. In fact, this is only the 4th strong tornado (EF-2 or EF-3) that has been confirmed in eastern Oklahoma since 1950.
