This violent tornado developed about 2-3 miles southeast of the Frances school house (~3 miles south-southwest of Humphreys, OK) in old Greer County (now Jackson County). Homes were swept away about 14 miles southeast of Altus, OK. From its inception, this tornado moved east-northeast crossing the North Fork of the Red River near the mouth of Otter Creek. The tornado followed very close to Otter Creek curving to the northeast through what is now northern Tillman County (but was still part of Kiowa County at the time). Three people were killed about 6 miles southwest of Snyder, OK. As the tornado continued to the northeast it struck the city of Snyder around 8:45 pm CST.

The tornado moved into the Snyder beginning in the southwest corner of the town, and destroyed or damaged homes and other buildings west of Main Street and from 6th Street northward through the city. No buildings north of the railroad were left standing. After moving through Snyder, the tornado continued northeastward, destroying a couple of small residences within two miles of the town site, then lifted about three miles northeast of Snyder.

The first tornado touched down at 12:20 am CST on February 22, 1975 near the Altus Air Force Base and north-northeastward to the Friendship, OK community. Several C-5 airplanes were turned 90 degrees at the air base. Several mobile homes were destroyed or damaged and several houses were damaged. The damage path was 6 miles long and 60 yards wide.

A tornado touched down just southwest of Altus and moved northeast across the southwestern and central Altus and then across the Altus Air Force Base, before eventually dissipating 0.5 miles northeast of the air base. The tornado displayed multiple vortices occasionally. Large hail accompanied the tornado, and the hail was described to be in the shape of charcoal briquets, measuring 4 inches square by one inch in thickness.

In Altus, the tornado destroyed 6 houses and 11 mobile homes, and 22 more houses were damaged. In addition, almost every roof in Altus was damaged by the hail, and at the high school, 258 skylights were destroyed.

On the air base approximately 70 buildings were damaged or destroyed, including 14 barracks and one of the main dining facilities. Structural damage was estimated at $12.5 million.

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.

This tornado touched down about 4.5 miles northeast of Fargo, TX in far northern Wilbarger County and then quickly moved northeast and crossed the Red River into far southeastern Jackson County in Oklahoma. No damage was reported in either of these counties. The tornado then moved northeast into Tillman County about 9 miles south-southwest of Tipton, OK and intensified into a violent tornado. The most severe damage occurred at the Oklahoma State University Agronomy Research Station. The buildings at the site were demolished, with most of the debris thrown into the nearby fields. The trees surrounding the site were debarked and splintered. Other damage was to the Tipton Mesonet site that took a direct hit. The wind speed maxed out at 86.4 mph before the site was demolished by flying debris. The tornado lifted about 3 miles north-northeast of Tipton.
