Three semi-trailer trucks were blown off of U.S. Interstate Highway I-35 and moved 30 feet by the tornadic winds just south of Ardmore. One truck driver suffered minor injuries.

This 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, 1995 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, OK (or about 3.5 miles south-southwest of Jimtown, OK) at approximately 3:24 pm CST. The tornado moved northeast and remained near F0/F1 intensity until it reached the Red River RV Ranch on the south side of OK State Highway 96 about 1 mile west of Burneyville, OK. At this RV park, 18 RVs, 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 OK State 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 OK State Highway 32/OK State 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, OK. 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 U.S. Interstate Highway I-35 on the west edge of Ardmore, and struck a Uniroyal/Michelin tire plant on the west side of the interstate highway. Significant damage to the sheet metal exterior and roof were noted, but 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 4:14 pm CST.

Total damage across Love and Carter Counties exceeded $100 million dollars, with damage in the city of Ardmore totaling $75 million dollars. 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.
