Local Weather History For June 13th...
Severe thunderstorms, some producing tornadoes, raked across central
and northern sections of Oklahoma on this day back in 1998. Most of
the tornadic activity was confined to Canadian and Oklahoma counties.
The strongest tornadoes, which produced F2 damage, occurred during
the late afternoon and early evening hours . Most notable, was the F2
tornado that tore through the northern portions of the Oklahoma City
metro area, including the Frontier City amusement park. This tornado
produced property damage in excess of $1 million. The tornadoes this
day in 1998 resulted in 21 injuries, but thankfully, no deaths.
