Oklahoma,
OKZ004>053 Heavy snow fell across much of Oklahoma beginning as rain and freezing
rain shortly before midnight the evening of the 21st, then changing to
snow during the early morning hours. Most of the snow ended before
noon on the 22nd.
The heaviest snow fell in two east-west oriented bands across central
Oklahoma. The southern band stretched from Apache (in southern Caddo
County) to Lindsay to Byng to Calvin (in central Hughes County).
Snowfall totals in this band were typically from 8 to 9 inches with an
11 to 12 inch maximum in northeastern Pontotoc and southern Hughes
Counties. Specific snowfall totals were 8 inches in Apache, Cox City,
and Lindsay; 9 inches in Rush Springs; 11 inches in Byng; and 12 inches
in Calvin, Allen, Atwood, and Gerty.
A second band extended across north-central Oklahoma from Kingfisher to
Stillwater and Chandler. The snowfall maximum in this area was more
uniform with 7-inch totals in Kingfisher, Chandler, Stillwater,
Mulhall, and north Oklahoma City.
Although no injuries or fatalities were directly caused by the heavy
snow, law enforcement officials attributed over 100 traffic accidents
to snow and ice on roads. One death and at least 25 injuries occurred
in these traffic accidents.
Two accidents involving trucks closed portions of major highways for
several hours around Oklahoma City. Two of three northbound lanes of
I-35 were closed for 4 hours due to an overturned tractor-trailer, and
I-44 westbound was also restricted to one lane for two hours by an
overturned truck.
Other reports included several injuries due to pedestrians slipping on
ice, and the roof of a barn on the Seminole County Fairgrounds
collapsed due to the weight of the snow the afternoon of the 22nd.

Severe thunderstorms moved across southwestern and
south-central Oklahoma during the afternoon and early
evening, producing 2 tornados, damaging winds, large
hail, and flash flooding. A second area of
thunderstorms moved across northern Oklahoma during
the afternoon and produced large and damaging hail.
With the storms in southwest Oklahoma 2 tornados were
reported. The first occurred in Tillman County where
a small, brief F0 tornado (gustnado) spun up on the
leading edge of a thunderstorm 3 miles southwest of
Tipton. No damage was reported.
The second tornado, an F1, occurred 3 miles east of
Faxon in Comanche County around 4 pm CST. Along a
path about 1/4 mile long and 33 yards wide, 2 barns
were destroyed, a propane tank was blown over, tops of
trees were twisted and snapped, and power poles were
downed.
Also with these storms in southwest Oklahoma, baseball
sized hail fell in Indiahoma in Comanche County, broke
out car windows east of Duke in Jackson County, and
broke out house windows 3 miles northeast of Tipton in
Tillman County. Flash flooding also became a problem
as water was reported up to car headlights in Comanche
in Stephens County.
As the storms moved eastward into south-central
Oklahoma, thunderstorm winds increased and some damage
was reported. A barn was destroyed by severe
thunderstorm winds near Faxon in Comanche County, and
wind speeds as high as 72 mph were reported south of
Duncan in Stephens County. In Carter County 5 miles
north of Lone Grove, winds destroyed 3 barns and a
wellhouse and did slight damage to 3 houses.
In northern Oklahoma wind-driven hail in severe
thunderstorms caused both crop and property damage.
Quarter to half dollar sized hail in Garfield County
broke out house windows 3 miles south of Fairmont and
5 miles southeast of Garber. In Noble County 6 miles
south of Billings house windows were broken out by
golf ball sized hail. Many wheat fields in Garfield
and Noble Counties were also destroyed.

Thunderstorms developed in southwest Oklahoma
throughout the afternoon and evening then moved
northeastward across south central and central
Oklahoma through the evening, producing 6 tornados,
large hail, damaging straight-line winds, and flash
flooding. Other isolated severe storms in northwest
Oklahoma produced large hail.
The first tornado, a brief F0, occurred on the Red
River 6 miles southwest of Grandfield in Tillman
County and did no reported damage. The storm then
moved into Cotton County where it spawned its second,
third, and fourth tornados. The second tornado was
spotted 4 miles southwest of Devol and the third was
just southeast of Devol. No damage was reported with
either touchdown and both were rated F0.
The fourth and most damaging tornado of the day began
2 miles north of Temple in Cotton County, then moved
into Stephens County and lifted in Corum. Power lines
were downed 2 miles north of Temple as the tornado
formed. In Corum, the roof of a gift shop was
partially removed and a beauty shop housed in a mobile
home trailer was completely destroyed. A semi-tractor
trailer rig was overturned, a roof was lifted off a
church, and a steeple was blown off. 2 barns were
also destroyed. The most severe damage was this
damage in Corum, and the tornado was rated an F2.
The storm continued across Stephens County and
produced a fifth tornado, an F1, in Velma. Trees were
twisted and the roof was blown off a water pump
station. The sixth and final tornado occurred on the
Murray/Garvin County line 2.5 miles northwest of Joy
(or 1.5 miles southeast of Wynnewood). No damage was
reported with this F0 tornado.
Aside from the tornados, strong winds, large hail, and
flash flooding were also reported. Straight line
winds up to 80 mph were reported in Frederick in
Tillman County. Damage from the storms in southern
and central Oklahoma included windows broken out of a
house by baseball sized hail in Tipton, also in
Tillman County. In Stephens County severe thunderstorm
winds damaged trees, signs, and a barn near Corum,
blew down a shed at a cemetery 1 mile north of
Comanche and destroyed a barn in Faxon. In Jefferson
County trees were snapped and sheet iron was blown off
a barn in the northwest part of the county.
In Cleveland County severe thunderstorm winds downed 2
large trees 12 miles east of Noble and snapped 1 foot
tree branches 8 miles east of Noble. In Carter County
power lines were downed near Healdton and 3 barns and
a wellhouse were destroyed 5 miles north of Lone
Grove. 4 houses north of Lone Grove also sustained
slight damage to their roofs. In Love County severe
winds downed power lines 1 mile south of Marietta. In
Hughes County tree limbs were broken 8 miles north of
Holdenville by winds reported at 75 mph. In Bryan
County, 4 foot diameter trees were blown down in
Hendrix and large trees were downed and a trailer was
blown onto a Jeep in Calera.
Significant damage occurred in Seminole County where
strong straight line winds with the thunderstorm gust
front cut a damage path through Wewoka. 21 houses were
damaged, mainly from trees falling on them, and 25
trees were downed across roads.
A car was overturned by flash flood waters in Stephens
County just east of Corum. None of the 4 passengers

Three lines of thunderstorms and one isolated supercell moved across
western, central, and southern Oklahoma from morning through late evening on
the 7th. In all, 10 tornados were confirmed, including a long-track tornado
that crossed from Cooke County Texas into Love County Oklahoma and remained on
the ground in Oklahoma for 34 miles. Large hail, severe straight-line winds,
and flash flooding were also reported.
The first tornado occurred with a line of storms in southwestern Oklahoma
10 miles southwest of Mangum in Greer County at 1456CST. The tornado was a
brief F0 with no damage reported.
The second tornado, an F1, touched down in central Oklahoma 6 miles north
of Davis in Murray County. Along a damage path about 2 miles long, 1 mobile
home was destroyed, 5 barns and 6 houses were damaged, and power lines and
trees were downed.
The third tornado spun up from the same storm as it moved across eastern
Garvin County. A damage survey revealed a path starting 11 miles
south-southwest of Stratford, continuing for 6 miles to a point 6 miles south
of Stratford. Along this path, a total of 3 outbuildings were destroyed, while
1 frame house and 8 other outbuildings were damaged. The frame house was
located 12 miles south-southwest of Stratford and sustained shingle damage and
one broken window. Within 25 ft of the house, a 10-ton box type semi-trailer
was picked up and tossed 75 ft onto the roof of a pole barn which collapsed
under the wind force and weight of the trailer. All 18 trees (20-24"
diameter) near the sight were topped or sheared at the trunk. Along the rest of
the damage path, tree damage was extensive and farm outbuildings sustained
major damage. Maximum width along this path was 200 yards and the tornado was
rated as F1.
It is also noteworthy that at least one location in heavy wooded areas was
visible where the rear flank downdraft, accompanying the tornado, flattened
15-25 large trees (10-15" diameter) 100-150 ft to the right of the tornado
path.
The fourth tornado was brief and struck a farm 1 mile west of Mill Creek in
Johnston County at 1520CST. A water trough, a 500-gallon diesel tank, 4 metal
feed sheds, and the roof of the house were damaged. The porch was destroyed,
and a dump truck was overturned. Tree damage was extensive, and this tornado
was rated at F1.
The fifth tornado occurred with an isolated supercell that moved
northeastward from Texas across the Red River into southern Love County, and
then north- northeastward into Carter County. Air and ground surveys conducted
on May 8 (the day after the tornado) revealed a damage path 500 to 700 yards
wide and 34 miles long across Love and Carter Counties in Oklahoma, with damage
in places consistent with a strong tornado on the high end of the F3 category.
Three fatalities and at least 6 injuries are attributed to this tornado.
Following the tornado's path as it moved across Oklahoma, the tornado
crossed the Red River into Oklahoma at a point 4 miles south-southeast of Leon
(or about 3.5 miles south-southwest of Jimtown) at approximately 1524 CST. The
tornado moved northeast and remained near F0/F1 intensity until it reached the
Red River RV Ranch on the south side of Highway 96 about 1 mile west of
Burneyville. At this RV park, 18 RV's, 12 cabins, 1 store, 1 guard shack, 1
equestrian center, 7 outbuildings, 5 single family homes, and 1 mobile home
were destroyed. One other single family home also suffered minor damage. At the
entrance to the park, several vehicles, including a delivery van, were rolled
off the highway and flipped over. The damage path at this point was 400 to 500
yards wide, and damage was rated as F2.
From there, the tornado crossed Highway 96 to the Falconhead Resort area,
where the worst damage was suffered. 20 homes were destroyed and 20 others
sustained major or minor damage, including numerous brick homes. At least one
of these homes lost all but the northeast exterior wall and a few interior
walls in the northeast part of the house. An aircraft hangar and a maintenance
building were also destroyed. The damage was rated on the high end of F3 at
this point, and the path was measured to be 500 to 600 yards wide.
One half mile north of the Highway 32/Highway 96 intersection, 2 of the 3
fatalities occurred. An 83- year old female and her 87-year old sister were
killed when their frame home on the west side of the road was picked up and
blown 50 feet into a wooded area on the east side of the road. Less than a mile
north of this site, the 3rd fatality occurred. A 78- year old man was killed in
his home, while his wife was severely injured. Widespread tree damage was
evident along this entire section of the tornado's path, and the intensity
along this stretch was rated as F2.
The tornado then decreased to F0/F1 strength and continued
north-northeastward across the Love/Carter County Line and toward Ardmore. In
Carter County, at least 4 homes, 2 businesses, and 1 public building were
destroyed. Four other homes, 5 businesses, and 1 public building received major
damage, with minor damage at an additional 5 homes, 6 businesses, and 1 public
building.
Specifically, on the southwest side of Ardmore, the tornado strengthened
and hit a subdivision of new, well-built homes. The worst damage consisted of 1
or 2 homes that were almost completely unroofed, and had some interior walls
down. Damage here was rated at F2. The tornado also hit a high school just
north of this subdivision, removing portions of the roof and damaging windows.
This damage was rated at the high end of the F1 category.
The tornado then continued northward, paralleling I- 35 on the west edge of
Ardmore, and struck a Uniroyal/Michelin tire plant on the west side of the
interstate. Significant damage to the sheet metal exterior and roof were noted;
however, no structural damage to the steel frame was apparent. In the parking
lot immediately to the east of the plant, dozens of automobiles and pickup
trucks were damaged or destroyed. Some were tossed, flipped, and stacked on top
of one another. At least 1 semi-truck was flipped over on the southwest side of
the plant. Based on the damage to the plant and vehicles, the intensity at this
point was rated F2.
Immediately north of the tire plant, witnesses reported that the tornado
began to go into its dissipation stage. One or two plate glass windows were
blown out at a Love's Truck Stop. The canopies over the pump areas and most
signs were also destroyed. Damage was rated at F1 here. An electronics
warehouse under construction just north of this truck stop had 3 of 4 exterior
walls knocked down. At a point about 2 miles north of the Uniroyal/Michelin
plant, the tornado took a sharp east- northeast turn and rapidly dissipated at
1614CST.
Total damage across Love and Carter Counties exceeded $100 million dollars,
with $75 million dollars worth of damage in Ardmore alone. Actual damage at the
Uniroyal Plant was valued at $45 million, and later production losses due to
the damage were estimated at 1.5 million tires.
The sixth through eighth tornados occurred simultaneously with the
Love/Carter County tornado, but with a separate storm. The sixth tornado was a
brief F0 touchdown near Saskawa in Seminole County around 1545CST. Two-inch
tree limbs were downed, but no other damage was reported. The storm then moved
into Hughes County and produced the seventh tornado 5 miles south of
Holdenville at 1555CST. Along its 1- mile track, a small house was shifted 30
feet off its foundation and a wall was blown out. Other houses nearby sustained
only minor roof damage. Two large trees were also uprooted. Damage was rated at
F0 by a survey team.
This same storm continued northeastward and produced the eighth tornado 1
mile southwest of Yeager at 1608CST, where a small outbuilding was destroyed.
This tornado remained on the ground as it moved through Yeager and then to 2
miles south of Wetumka. In Yeager a barn and 2 other outbuildings were
destroyed, and a frame house was heavily damaged. Two horse trailers were moved
75 feet and 40 trees sustained serious damage. The damage path was about 50
yards wide at this point and the damage was rated F2.
The ninth and tenth tornados occurred from the same isolated supercell that
earlier produced the Love/Carter County tornado. The ninth tornado, an F1,
began near Gene Autry in Carter County at 1629CST, moved into Murray County,
and dissipated in Dougherty at 1636CST. Along this 3 mile path, 2 barns and 1
storage building were destroyed, windows were blown out of 25 homes, and part
of a lumber company roof was blown off. Two homes and 1 pickup were also
damaged by fallen trees.
The tenth tornado was a brief F1 north of Sulphur in Murray County at
1653CST. A barn was destroyed, a trailer was blown over, and a van was picked
up and moved.
In addition to these tornados, the storms also produced baseball sized hail
in Carter and 3 miles southeast of Carter in Beckham County. Wind speeds up to
70 mph were reported 2 miles northwest of Verden in Caddo County and in Custer
City in Custer County, where minor building damage was also reported. Also in
Custer County 4 miles west of Arapahoe, a 10-inch tree was downed. Later in the
afternoon severe thunderstorm winds in Clinton broke the plate glass windows
out of a store, destroyed fences and a storage shed, and uprooted and/or
snapped 2 large trees. Three other businesses sustained major roof damage, and
a mobile home was flipped over onto a car. Total damage in Clinton was
estimated at $117,000.
Other straight-line wind damage was reported in Grady County in Amber,
where a roof was blown off of a mobile home, injuring a woman. A neighboring
brick home also sustained extensive damage, with large portions of the roof
blown off and a new addition destroyed. A nearby camper was also tossed on end.
In Greer County in Willow, 18 houses and 2 businesses were damaged by severe
thunderstorm winds. Numerous trees and power lines were also downed. In Watonga
in Blaine County, 18-inch trees were snapped, 3 roofs were blown off houses, an
airplane hangar was destroyed, and 3 power poles were downed by strong winds.
In Lincoln County in Stroud severe thunderstorm winds damaged one home and 4
outbuildings, and uprooted several large trees.
In Newkirk in Kay County and in Stephens County in Marlow and 1 mile
west-southwest of Marlow, branches up to 6-inches were snapped. A tree also
blew onto a car in Marlow. In Grant County 5 miles southeast of Renfro, severe
thunderstorm winds downed 8-inch tree limbs and blew shingles off a house. In
Noble County in Perry, trees were downed, and a 3-inch tree was also uprooted
in Wayne in McClain County.
In Pontotoc County in Ada, lightning struck and set fire to a house,
resulting in $3000 in damage. Lightning also struck a home 1 mile
west-southwest of Marlow, damaging the appliances but did not set the house on
fire. In Comanche County 12 miles east- northeast of Geronimo lightning struck
an antenna, causing the TV to explode and setting fire to the house. Damage to
the house and contents was estimated at $40,000.
Flash flooding was reported in Stephens County east of Marlow, in Marlow,
and in Duncan due to widespread street flooding, including Highway 81 south of
Duncan. In Grady County in Rush Springs, part of downtown was closed due to
high water, and in Murray County in Dougherty, flooding caused the evacuation
of 4 homes and the post office. In Carter County near Lone Grove, flash
flooding washed out a bridge. Repair costs were placed at $23,000.

Thunderstorms moved across western Oklahoma during the
early evening of the 3rd, then spread into central
Oklahoma and continued into the early morning hours of
the 4th. Lightning damage, hail, severe winds, flash
flooding, and 6 tornados were reported with these
storms.
The first tornado was a brief F0 in Harmon County, about
15 miles south-southwest of Gould on the Red River.
(This is the same tornado reported in Western North
Texas 11 miles northwest of Goodlett in Hardeman County,
Texas.)
The second tornado occurred in Jackson County 9 miles
east of Duke. At this location 3 mobile homes were
destroyed and a house porch and a barn door were blown
away. Four utility poles were snapped and several trees
were uprooted. This damage was rated as F1.
The third tornado occurred in central Oklahoma in
Canadian County north of Union City. A survey revealed
a damage path 5 miles long and 200 yards wide, beginning
3 miles north-northeast of Union City and extending
northeast to 1 mile south of Banner. The tornado was
rated as F1 based on the damage survey and eyewitness
reports.
Along this path, power poles were downed and trees
sustained extensive damage. About 5 miles northeast of
Union City, a metal barn was picked up and thrown 100
yards across a road (rated F1). At another farm nearby
outbuildings and a barn were destroyed, windows were
blown out of a house, a chimney was destroyed, and
shingles were stripped from the house roof. This damage
was rated F0.
One mile farther northeast along the path, another farm
sustained F1 damage. Outbuildings were destroyed, a
barn was damaged, and house shingles and windows were
damaged. A large cattle feeder was blown 75 yards into
a swimming pool. At the end of the tornado's path (1
mile south of Banner), a pole barn was completely
destroyed by F1 tornado winds.
The fourth tornado was spotted 4 miles southwest of
Headrick in Jackson County. The fifth tornado was
sighted 5 miles southwest of Frederick in Tillman
County, and the sixth tornado was later spotted 2 miles
north of Frederick. No damage was reported with any of
these tornados, and all were rated as F0.
The same storm that produced these tornados in Jackson
County also produced hail as large as tennis balls in
Altus in Jackson County.
Numerous reports of severe straight-line winds were
received, including many reports of damage. In Harmon
County 10 miles south of Gould, 10 utility poles were
downed along Highway 5. In Hollis (also in Harmon
County) severe thunderstorm winds measured at 60 mph by
the Oklahoma Mesonet downed 11 power poles and uprooted
2-foot diameter trees.
One mile north of Union City in Canadian County, a 2-
foot tree was downed across a road and 2 railroad cars
were tipped over onto a third railroad car. Two utility
sheds and 1 camper were destroyed, a semi truck was
turned over, and several other outbuildings sustained
minor damage. Also in Canadian County, 6-inch limbs
were snapped 8 miles northwest of Union City, and power
lines and 8-inch tree limbs were downed 3 miles west-
southwest of Union City. Three miles north of Union
City windows were broken out of a country store by hen
egg sized hail and strong winds.
At Altus in Jackson County, winds measured as high as 82
mph destroyed 2 mobile homes and 1 night club. A truck
repair facility and a restaurant lost parts of their
roofs, and an abandoned hotel collapsed. The only
reported injury was a woman who was severely cut when
her plate glass window shattered. Total property damage
was estimated at $475,000 in Altus and $600,000
throughout the rest of Jackson County.
Severe thunderstorm winds in McClain County in Cole
destroyed 2 barns and 1 tractor shed for a total of
$17,000 damage. Three other barns were also destroyed
and a mobile home lost its windows. Also in McClain
County 7 miles southwest of Newcastle, severe
thunderstorm winds blew a carport into a field, and
considerable tree damage was reported 3 miles south of
Purcell.
In Caddo County in Eakly, 60 mph winds uprooted trees,
tore the roof off a new barn, and downed large trees
onto the Post Office. In Washita County in Cowden 60
mph winds downed 4-inch limbs and split some trees. In
Chickasha in Grady County 3-foot trees were downed or
split.
Flash flooding also became a serious concern, as the
ground reached saturation from the previous several
days' rain. In Harmon County all roads into Hollis were
flooded and 90 homes in Hollis and the surrounding area
were flooded. Several hours later Highway 62 between
Hollis and the Texas state line was closed. In Jackson
County in Altus, 6 to 8 inches of water flowed across
many roads at 2120CST. Later in the evening, at
2300CST, 2 feet of water covered the fire department
parking lot and a car was reported to be "floating" in
a department store parking lot.
In Canadian County east of Union City, 6 inches of water
covered Highway 152, and in Logan County in Guthrie
several feet of water flooded some buildings. In Caddo
County several county roads just outside of Eakly were
washed out by flash flood waters, and several areas in
Apache were flooded. In Kiowa County south of Hobart
water covered Highway 183 for a 2-mile stretch, closing
the road. In Comanche County streets were flooded
throughout Lawton.
In northwest Oklahoma City in Oklahoma County, lightning
struck a small oil refinery, setting it on fire. A few
hours later, lightning struck and set fire to a house in
central Oklahoma City. Both the husband and wife
initially escaped the house safely; however, the man
went back into the house (apparently to get dressed) and
was then killed in the fire.
North of Elk City in Beckham County, lightning struck
the TV antenna on the roof of a house, damaging the
sheetrock in the ceiling and breaking 2 windows. Damage
was estimated at $5,000.

Persistent thunderstorms in central Oklahoma produced
severe winds, flash flooding, and 2 tornados.
Both tornados occurred in Lincoln County during the
morning, the first in Kendrick and the second 5 miles
north of Stroud. A damage survey found damage in
Kendrick consistent with an F1 tornado. Specifically,
the roof was removed from a large wooden barn and part
of roof was removed from a small shop. Over 30 large
trees received heavy branch damage and another 4 were
uprooted or sheared at the trunk.
Five miles north of Stroud, a second tornado destroyed
the garage of a brick home. This and extensive nearby
tree damage were rated as F2.
Straight-line wind damage associated with this storm was
extensive, stretching from 3 miles northwest to 6 miles
north of Stroud. In all, over 2 miles of power poles
were downed of snapped, 9 homes received minor roof
damage, 1 trailer home was destroyed, over 50 large
trees were pushed over or snapped at the base, and about
200 trees received extensive, major branch damage.
Flash flooding was reported in Oklahoma County in
Spencer where streets were flooded and in Arcadia where
2 feet of water covered Highway 66.
In northwest Oklahoma City in Oklahoma County a woman's
car stalled in high water on MacArthur Road just north
of Britton Road. While trying to walk to higher ground,
she was swept by the current into a nearby drainage
ditch and drowned. The 33-year old woman was found
several hours later in Ski Island Lake.
Flash flooding also occurred in Edmond where about 15
homes flooded when water backed up by clogged storm
drains. In Yukon in Canadian County, the intersection of
Council Road and Reno was under water, and in Guthrie in
Logan County SH 33 was closed due to high water. One
man was stranded in Guthrie when trying to drive across
a flooded road. He was rescued by fire fighters in a
boat. In Coyle in Payne County, high water covered
Highway 177 and SH 33. In Stillwater in Payne County,
flash flooding from Stillwater Creek and its tributaries
caused a state of emergency to be declared, streets were
closed, apartments were evacuated, and one school closed
was closed.
At Davidson, in Tillman County, flash flooding forced 13
families out of their homes on June 5th, and again on
the 10th. They were evacuated by boat through depths
approaching 5 feet. Eleven houses were significantly
damaged; 3 destroyed. Sanitary sewer line leaks created
a community health hazard.

Severe thunderstorms began in southern Oklahoma during
the afternoon of June 9th, and continued through early
morning of the 10th. Other severe thunderstorms
developed in northern and central Oklahoma during the
late afternoon and evening of the 9th. In all, large
hail, severe straight-line winds, flash flooding, and 9
tornados were reported.
The first 5 tornados occurred with a single storm in
eastern Greer County early in the afternoon. The first
tornado occurred 1 mile west of Mangum, and the second
occurred 4 miles south of Granite. The third tornado
was reported 5 miles south of Granite at Highway 6 and

Daytime thunderstorms in northern and extreme southern
Oklahoma produced hail, severe straight-line winds,
flash flooding, and lightning damage.
Hail as large as golf balls was reported in southern
Oklahoma at Davidson in Tillman County, while severe
thunderstorm winds in northern Oklahoma reached 70 mph
at Fay in Dewey County.
In southern Oklahoma in Cotton County, Highway 277 was
completely flooded near Walters and Highway 5B was
closed north of Taylor. Highway 36 north was also closed
north of Grandfield in Tillman County.
In northern Oklahoma flash flooding was widespread, with
reports of flooding in Alfalfa, Blaine, Grant, and
Kingfisher Counties. In Alfalfa County water covered
roads east of Byron and the Eagle Creek Bridge was
closed west of Carmen.
In Blaine County Highway 33 east of Watonga and SH 8
from Watonga to Okeene were closed due to high water.
In Grant County high water was reported on US 81 near
Jefferson. In Kingfisher County Highway 81 north of
Kingfisher was closed due to flooding of Kingfisher
Creek, and SH 51 14 miles west of Hennessey was closed
at the Cimarron River bridge due to flash flooding.
In Blaine County, lightning struck and ignited an oil
tank 5 miles southeast of Okeene.
In southern Oklahoma lightning struck an oil storage
tank at Addington in Jefferson County, blowing the lid
off and igniting a fire. Two fire fighters assisting
from Texas were killed while fighting the blaze. Damage
was estimated at 2.5 to 3 million dollars.
After almost 10 consecutive days of thunderstorms during
the first days of June, flash flooding gave way to
widespread river and stream flooding. Moderate to
severe river overflows extended from tributaries to the
Red River and its mainstem, to major tributaries to the
Arkansas River in central portions of Oklahoma.
More than 40 river forecast/warning points experienced
flooding, fifteen of which had been flooded previously
in May. Sixteen points crested above flood twice, while
three stations took triple hits. Cities, towns, and
countless suburban areas saw varying degrees of
inundation, ranging from shallow to life-threatening and
destructive depths. Hundreds of miles of highways were
closed. Rescues of stranded motorists and vehicles
washed away were too many to list.
The City of Guthrie in Logan County was severed by a
record flood on Cottonwood Creek. Cottonwood Creek at
Guthrie rose above flood stage on the 4th and crested at
25.3 feet on the 5th. Four days later, the creek rose
above flood stage once again and crested at a record
30.6 feet. Flood stage at Guthrie is 22 feet. This
deepest overflow in history closed both Noble Avenue (OK
Hwy 33) east/west and Division Street (US Hwy 77)
north/south. Sixteen businesses along Noble Ave.
sustained heavy damages; about 6 beyond repair. Two
church buildings were flooded; one of which was
destroyed. About 60 homes were flooded, to depths up
to 3 feet; others were destroyed. A 60-year-old steel
truss bridge was toppled.
North of Guthrie, US Hwy 77 was washed out near the
Cimarron River Bridge, as the Cimarron River crested at
16.3 feet on the 10th. The river remained above its
flood stage of 14 feet for 3 days. The Cimarron River
also briefly closed the Hwy 33 bridge east of Coyle.
Kingfisher (in Kingfisher County) had combined overflows
from Kingfisher Creek and its tributary Uncle John
Creek. Kingfisher Creek rose above flood stage and
crested at 23.6 feet on the 9th, and Uncle John Creek
rose to a crest of 22.7 feet, also on the 9th. Flood
stages for the two creeks are 20 and 21.5 feet
respectively. Flooding affected a 60 block area,
encompassing about 100 homes and forcing the evacuation
of 38 families. Kingfisher Creek blocked traffic on
Highway US 81 northward, and west access to town via
Highway OK 33. Uncle John Creek closed Highway OK33 to
the east.
In Anadarko, Caddo County OK, the Washita River rose
above its flood stage of 19 feet on the 4th, crested at
25.4 feet on the 6th, and did not fall below flood stage
until the 8th. The river flooded the city park, closing
an area for recreational vehicles and flooding city
facilities. Floodwaters also surrounded the city sewer
plant and washed out its access road. Near the town of
Verden, a few miles downstream from Anadarko, six
persons were rescued from their rural home via
helicopter as currents proved too swift for evacuation
via boat. Highway OK 62 was closed near Verden.
Further downstream, in and near Chickasha in Grady
County, several homes and commercial structures were
flooded up to 4 feet deep. Hundreds of acres of
farmland were lost to riverbank erosion in Grady County.
Flood stage of the Washita River 3 miles northwest of
Chickasha is 19 feet. The river crested at 26.3 feet on
the 7th, in the middle of 5 days above flood stage.
In Blackwell, Kay County OK, the Chikaskia River rose
above flood stage (29 feet) on the 4th and remained
above flood stage through the 12th. It crested twice:
first on the 5th at 29.3 feet and again on the 9th at
32.4 feet. About a ten-block area of low-lying homes
and streets suffered shallow flooding as the Chikaskia
River swelled out of its banks for the second time in 4
days.
In Canadian County OK, from near El Reno to Yukon to the
west edge of Oklahoma City suburban homesteads and roads
saw minor overflows from the North Canadian River. At
Yukon, the river flooded for three days from the 9th
through the 11th, cresting at 19.2 feet on the 10th (6.2
feet above flood stage).
In south Shawnee, Pottawatomie County OK, several
families were evacuated from the Granger Addition before
the North Canadian River flooded streets and five or six
homes, some to depths approaching 3 feet. Flood stage
on the North Canadian River 2 miles west of Shawnee is
18 feet. The river crested on the 11th at 18.9 feet at
this site.
East Cache Creek overflowed croplands from Ellsworth Dam
near Apache OK in Caddo County, downstream to Walters in
Cotton County, closing all road crossings in Comanche
County between the two sites. A gaging site 2 miles
east of Walters recorded a crest of 29.9 feet on the
11th, 9.9 feet above flood stage.
At Warwick in Lincoln County, the Deep Fork River closed
OK Highway 66 west of town and washed out the bridge
approach to OK 18 south of town. Flood stage is 16
feet, and the river crested at 18.2 feet on the 4th, and
again at 21.2 feet on the 9th.
In Garfield County, Turkey Creek closed rural roads and
flooded farms near Lahoma, Bison and Green Valley OK.
Eagle Chief Creek flooded streets in Dacoma in Woods
County, and forced evacuation from flooded homes while
isolating Aline and flooded businesses in Carmen, both
in Alfalfa County OK. Access was also closed to the
town of Cherokee by overflows from Cottonwood Canyon and
Clay Creek.
Thousands of acres of agricultural lands across western,
central, and southeastern Oklahoma were severely
flooded, destroying fences, machinery, freshly planted
cotton, wheat ready for harvest, watermelon and other
crops, and drowning or dispersing hundreds of cattle.
Major damages were sustained by county highways and
bridges too numerous to list. Nineteen Oklahoma
counties were declared disaster areas by FEMA due to
river flooding.

Afternoon and evening thunderstorms produced flash
flooding, severe straight-line winds, hail as large as
softballs, and 13 tornados as they moved across western
North Texas.
The first 6 tornados were spawned by a single storm as
it moved across Hardeman County and into western
Wilbarger County. The first 5 of these 6 tornados
occurred south of Chillicothe in Hardeman County, and
spotters reported that each tornado was a brief F0
causing no damage. The sixth tornado, located 10 miles
west of Vernon in Wilbarger County, was multi-vortex in
structure; however, no damage was reported and this
tornado was also rated as F0.
The 7th and 8th tornados occurred simultaneously at
1900CST with separate storms 5 miles northwest of
Burkburnett and 7 miles east of Electra in Wichita
County. No damage was reported and both were rated as
F0.
The 9th through 13th tornados occurred as the storms
continued to move eastward across Wichita County. The
9th tornado was spotted 9 miles west of Iowa Park. The
10th tornado touched down near the A/C Delco plant south
of Burkburnett, slightly damaging roofs in the area.
The 11th tornado was reported east of Burkburnett. The
12th and 13th tornados were spotted 6 miles west of
Burkburnett and just west of Burkburnett respectively.
Once again, no significant damage occurred with any of
the tornados and all were rated as F0.
In addition to the tornados, severe thunderstorm winds
reached 85 mph at Shepherd AFB in Wichita County.
Softball sized hail was reported 8 miles north of
Crowell in Foard County, 13 miles south of Quanah in
Hardeman County, and 10 miles northwest of Vernon in
Wilbarger County.
Flash flooding began in Vernon in Wilbarger County at
1900CST, when Highway 283 north of town was under water
and some flooding of streets and homes was reported on
the southwest side of Vernon. Later, at 2050CST,
Highway 283 south of town was closed, Highway 70 to
Crowell was closed, and 1 foot of water covered some
roads in Vernon.

Flash flood problems continued to escalate in western
parts of North Texas as several rounds of thunderstorms
moved across the area during the day on the 10th. In
Wilbarger County in southwest Vernon, 3 feet of water
flooded some homes. Just over an hour later, 6 other
homes were flooded with 6-8" water. Highway 183 2 miles
south of Vernon was flooded with 1.5 ft water from
Paradise Creek, and 1 foot of water covered US 70 west.
Finally, a bridge washed out 3 miles northeast of
Vernon.
In addition to the flash flooding, severe thunderstorm
winds in Archer County downed 2-inch limbs 6 miles
southwest of Holliday, and quarter-sized hail was
reported 2 miles southwest of Munday in Knox County.
After almost 10 consecutive days of thunderstorms across
southern Oklahoma and north Texas, flash flooding gave
way to widespread river and stream flooding. Moderate
to severe river overflows affected many of the Texas
tributaries to the Red River and its mainstem across
western parts of north Texas.
At Vernon, Wilbarger County, the Pease River spilled
into northern parts of town and the Vernon State
Hospital grounds as the river rose to a crest of 19.1
feet, 4.1 feet above flood stage, on the 5th. Highway
US 283 northward and US 70 west were blocked. A barn
was lost, along with several cattle. Paradise Creek
covered US 287 and state roads to the east and south,
leaving Vernon isolated from all directions.
Firefighters evacuated a dozen homes in NW and SW
Vernon. Over 30 homes sustained minor flooding, with
total damages estimated at about $375,000.
In Wilbarger County, Beaver Creek below Santa Rosa Lake
closed Highway US 183 and threatened two homesteads near
the Waggoner Ranch headquarters, and blocked FM 1181.
Five county bridges were washed out or rendered unsafe,
costing about $575,000 to repair. Beaver Creek crested
at 33 feet on the 5th, 9 feet above flood stage at a
gaging site 9 miles south of Electra.
In Wichita Falls, Wichita County, the Wichita River
caused varying degrees of minor flooding in areas around
Lucy Park, including the Sheraton Hotel and Tanglewood.
Three teenage boys were rescued by firefighters, from a
bridge in Lucy Park. The Wichita River rose above its
flood stage of 18 feet on the 8th and remained above
flood stage until the 12th in Wichita Falls. The river
crested twice during this time: at 18.5 feet on the 8th
and at 19.7 feet on the 11th.
Near Burkburnett in Wichita County, the Red River
mainstem canceled activities at the Boy Scouts' Camp
Perkins, with about 4 feet of water near its
headquarters. Damages to the swimming pool, roads, and
other camp facilities were estimated at $60,000. The
Red River rose to a crest of 15.4 feet on the 6th, 6.4
feet above flood stage at the si9te 3 miles north of
Burkburnett.
In Quanah, Hardeman County, some residents of Star
Street Apartments were evacuated. Highway TX 6 was
closed south of town.
In and near Chillicothe, Highway US 287 was flooded. An
18-wheel truck was washed off the road. Farm Rd 1167
was under 12 feet of water.

Isolated thunderstorms developed in northwest Oklahoma during early evening on the 23rd.
Within a few hours a second area of numerous thunderstorms began to develop rapidly in
southwest Oklahoma. The thunderstorms spread into central portions of the state during
the evening and many evolved into severe straight-line wind producing thunderstorms with
distinctive bow-echo radar signatures. In summary, wind gusts to 97 mph, hail up to 3-
inch diameter, and 3 tornados were reported during this event.
By far the most damaging storm of the night occurred in Oklahoma County as a severe
thunderstorm with straight-line winds up to 97 mph moved through central Oklahoma and the
Oklahoma City metro area between 2300 and midnight CST on the 23rd (midnight to 1 am CDT
on the 24th).
As the storm approached western sections of the metro area, it began to cause significant
damage in Canadian County. In El Reno a metal awning was destroyed, and in Yukon trees
were downed, one onto a mobile home. The courthouse in Yukon suffered major roof damage
which resulted in flooding of the offices inside. In Mustang winds were measured at 82 to
92 mph. Two carports were destroyed, light poles were downed, and major tree and fence
damage occurred.
When the storm reached western Oklahoma County, wind speeds approached 100 mph. At the
Weather Service Office at Will Rogers Airport in southwest Oklahoma City, winds were
sustained at 36 to 70 mph from 2324CST to 2353CST. Gusts ranged from 58 to 96 mph, with a
peak of 96 mph at 2339CST. Damage throughout the county was extensive, with the heaviest
damage in southern and western Oklahoma City. Dollar estimates of damage alone (not
including clean-up costs or lost revenue) topped 6.5 million dollars. Cleanup costs
likely added an additional 2 million dollars to the total.
One-fifth of the city's traffic signals were damaged, about 100 in all; and an estimated
175,000 homes lost power in the Oklahoma City metro area, many for several days. Up to
20,000 people were still without electricity the evening of the 26th, and electrical
service was not completely restored until the 28th, 5 days after the storm. One employee
of the electric company was killed while working on a high voltage line.
At the Will Rogers Airport, several windows were knocked out of the observation tower and
the Weather Service Office at 2328CST. Windows were also broken out of numerous cars.
At Wiley Post Airport 8 hangars sustained significant roof damage, for an estimated $1
million damage. An airplane was also turned 45 degrees from its original position. A
building was destroyed near the 2000 block of Airport Road.
Wind speeds at Tinker Air Force Base in Del City (a southeastern suburb of Oklahoma City)
reached 97 mph, the highest measured wind speed of the event. Tinker AFB suffered
extensive damage to windows, roofs, and equipment stored in hangars. Nearby Rose State
College also suffered significant roof and window damage valued at $10,000.
The Oklahoma State Fairgrounds sustained over almost $1 million damage to signs and
buildings. The greatest single cost was the bubble roof of the International Trade Center
which collapsed during the storm. Replacement of the roof and repair of the building cost
$746,000.
A paper warehouse was heavily damaged when an outside concrete-block wall collapsed due to
the severe winds. Damage to the warehouse and contents was estimated at $1 million.
University Hospital in downtown Oklahoma City received $150,000 damage: $70,000 to a Care-
flight helicopter and $80,000 to the windows and roof of the hospital itself.
The roof collapsed on 4 units of the Western Oaks Apartments at 7416 NW 23rd St, and a
brick wall was blown down at 23rd and Vandament. Part of the roof of a Post Office
collapsed at SW 57th and Agnew. A mobile home on the 5200 block of Peniel was blown onto
its side, a mobile home on the 9000 block of NW 10th lost half of its roof, and a house
lost 1/4 of its roof at 9717 Westlake.
Two homes at SW 59th and May and a Pizza Hut at SW 82nd and Pennsylvania suffered
significant roof damage. At SW 74th and Pennsylvania, a greenhouse was destroyed and gas
pumps were overturned. Roof and gas pump damage was also reported at SW 74th and May.
In Moore in northern Cleveland County, the east face of Westmoore High School was stripped
away by the severe thunderstorm winds. Damage was estimated at $25,000. Many homes in
Moore suffered roof and structural damage, including parts of walls blown off the second
story of one house. Ten blocks of power poles were downed along Santa Fe south of 4th on
the Moore/Oklahoma City line.
Sign and tree damage throughout Oklahoma and northern Cleveland Counties was too extensive
to list. Over 200 trees were twisted or uprooted at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds alone.
Only 2 known injuries were attributed to the storm as it moved through the metro area. An
elderly couple driving on Santa Fe south of 4th Street in Moore (Cleveland County) was
injured by a falling utility pole. Both were treated and released by a local hospital.
Elsewhere in central Oklahoma, severe thunderstorm winds in Pottawatomie County downed 2-
inch limbs in Pink and felled numerous trees and power lines in Tecumseh. In Shawnee, also
in Pottawatomie County, winds estimated at 70 mph downed many limbs up to 3 inches.
Severe thunderstorm winds estimated at 80 mph in northern Hennessey in Kingfisher County
uprooted or snapped numerous 14 to 20-inch trees and power lines. Several residential and
business roofs were damaged or removed. Glass windows and doors were broken throughout
town. The Co-op also sustained damage to a nurse tank when a power pole fell on it. One
large tree fell onto a mobile home, and another trailer house was blown over. One woman
was injured when part of the wall of her apartment complex caved in.

After several consecutive days of rain and thunderstorms, flash flooding became a river flood
event across much of northern Oklahoma and parts of western North Texas. The wet weather
pattern was driven largely by the remnants of Tropical Storm Dean. Dean came on shore on the
Texas Gulf Coast the evening of July 31st. Heavy rains followed across much of Texas and
Oklahoma through the next week. Rainfall amounts of 8 to 12 inches were common, with some
areas reporting as much as 16 inches of rain in the 6 day period from July 31st through August
5th.

crest, over 2.5 feet of water covered the interstate. At least 12 rural homes in Kay County
received water damage, including one farm 6 miles west of Tonkawa that measured 46 inches of
water in the house. At least 63 homes suffered major flood damage in Grant and Kay Counties
combined.

Morning thunderstorms resulted in flash flooding across western sections of north Texas and 1
flash flood death.
The death occurred in Hardeman County after a small car (containing 2 adults and 2 children)
drove into a flooded portion of US Highway 287 2 miles east of Chillicothe. The car apparently
stalled and the 2 adult occupants got out of the car and pushed it to the side of the road. By
this time the water was about 2 feet deep. Large trucks continued driving rapidly through the
high water and caused waves which pushed the car off the road and into a nearby ditch. Each
adult pulled one child from the car. The adult carrying the two-year-old child lost his
footing and the current swept the child from his arms and down the creek. The drowned child
was found several hours later downstream.
In Hardeman County Highway 287 was closed east of Quanah and from Chillicothe to Electra (in
Wilbarger County). US 283 was closed in Wilbarger County south of Vernon, and US 70 was closed
from Vernon to Crowell in Foard County due to flash flooding of the roadway.
