Significant Tornadoes in Greer County

	Date	Time (CST)	Path Length (miles)	Path Width (yards)	F-Scale	Killed	Injured	County	Path
	06/20/1964	1900	0.1	10	F2	0	1	Greer	10 E Mangum
This tornado touched down 9.5 miles east of Mangum along U.S. Highway 283 and moved northeastward along a short and narrow path. An empty 12-ton semi-truck and trailer were picked up and blown from the highway. The driver, upon fleeing the truck, was carried across the roadway and injured when he was dumped in a ditch. A pickup truck that preceded the semi was also blown into the ditch, while an automobile following the semi was blown 300 yards to the east and also landed in a ditch.
	05/06/1965	1850	31	10	F2	0	2	Harmon/ Greer	8 W Hollis - 6 W Granite
This tornado was first spotted about 8 miles west of Hollis in Harmon County at about 6:30 pm CST, and was last observed about 6 miles west of Granite in Greer County. The heaviest damaged observed was in the Ron and Metcalf communities north of Hollis, and to the Hollis water plant located 12 miles to the north of the town. At least 6 homes, 10 barns, a cotton gin, a store, a church, and school building were destroyed or damaged in the area. More damage occurred 6 miles west of Granite to farm homes and barns. The tornado knocked out the power to Granite, but dissipated before it reached the town. Another tornado was observed in open county 5 miles northeast of Granite. Two people were injured by the tornado. Hail to the size of golf balls was observed in Sentinel in Washita County, and was associated with the parent supercell thunderstorm. Several head of livestock were killed near Sentinel. The city of Cordell had hail to the size of quarters. An area of straight-line wind damage occurred in an area 3 miles wide and 20 miles long, and extended from a farm 5 miles northwest of Hollis in Harmon County to the town of Reed in Greer County.
	05/11/1982	1702	10	700	F3	2	18	Jackson/ Greer	1.5 SW Friendship - S Quartz Mountain State Park
The tornado formed 1.5 miles southwest of Friendship, OK in Jackson County and moved north-northwest to just south of Quartz Mountain State Park in Greer County. The tornado was large and composed of as many as 6 vortices at times. The damage path was up to 1.2 miles in width, but there were areas without damage inside the path due to the multiple vortex nature of the tornado. A 4-year-old girl and her 25-year-old aunt were killed when a mobile home was destroyed 2 miles west of Friendship. Approximately 25 houses and 5 mobile homes were damaged or destroyed. Numerous cattle were killed or injured and 10 to 15 greyhounds were killed. Damages were estimated at $500,000.
