Just before 3:00 pm CDT on May 23, 2024, thunderstorms developed along a dry line in the eastern Texas panhandle and west Texas and began to move eastward. Eventually, a small group of storms moved into southwestern Oklahoma. One of these storms became a dominant supercell thunderstorm and produced large hail up to 3.0 inches in diameter, severe wind gusts of 60 to 70 mph, and wind damage. One very large tornado was accompanied by a satellite tornado in Jackson County, and both tornadoes produced damage. Another tornado occurred in Harmon County near Gould, OK On May 24, 2024, an NWS survey team determined that up to EF-2 damage was generated by a large tornado that occurred near Eldorado and Duke, OK. Three tornadoes were documented during the May 23, 2024 severe weather event. |

Survey Summary:
A large, multiple vortex tornado began near the Harmon/Jackson
County line approximately 8 miles southwest of Duke. This tornado
moved slowly south and southeast, finally turning north-northeast
as it crossed SH34 approximately 7 miles south of Duke. The
tornado grew to a little over a mile wide circulation at the
widest point in the 15 mile path. Several structures were
damaged, with several barns destroyed, and several homes
suffering roof damage. The EF2 damage is mainly due to electric
powerline poles being snapped. Most of the known structure damage
was rated EF1 or lower. This survey will continue, as additional
data continues to come in from aerial photos and other damage
assessments.
