Otherwise, temperatures this last full week of December will average above normal for much of the lower 48 states. Read More >

Oklahoma's worst-ever October tornado outbreak took place on the evening of October 4th. A total of 26 tornadoes occurred throughout Oklahoma, of which 7 were in northeastern Oklahoma. This outbreak of severe weather resulted as a powerful, upper-level storm system moved across the central plains and surface low pressure developed over southwestern Oklahoma. Warm humid air quickly invaded the area on the morning of October 4th and then collided with a cold front moving southward by evening. The threat from these storms ran the full range of possibilities from destructive tornadoes to damaging winds to very large hail up to the size of baseballs. A significant, long-track tornado occurred on the evening of October 4th, following a 27-mile track from 2 miles southeast of Boley in Okfuskee County to 3 miles southwest of Nuyaka in Okmulgee County. The tornado first touched down in Okfuskee County at 9:37 pm CST and lifted over Okmulgee County at 10:08 pm CST. The most significant damage to structures occurred near the communities of IXL and Haydenville, while much of the damage in the rural areas across which the tornado tracked consisted of downed/uprooted trees. In the small community of IXL, located on OK State Highway 48 north of Okemah, nearly every structure sustained at least some damage. An NWS Storm Survey revealed F2 damage at IXL, where a house and two mobile homes were destroyed. Pieces of one mobile home were found one-half mile away. A local newspaper also reported four businesses and a public building at the IXL Park were destroyed. Six houses and two more mobile homes sustained major damage, while another 21 houses and one mobile home sustained minor damage. In Haydenville, located north of Okemah on OK State Highway 56, two single-family houses and a mobile home were destroyed. Three houses, three mobile homes, and one public building (the Haydenville Fire Station) sustained major damage. Five houses and one business (the Haydenville Store) sustained minor damage. An NWS Storm Survey revealed F2 damage just southwest of Haydenville, where a mobile home was completely destroyed. Four people inside the trailer were injured, one of them critically. The tie-downs on the double-wide trailer were snapped, and the home appeared to have travelled a significant distance before disintegrating. The tornado continued into Okmulgee County from Okfuskee County, but only produced F0 damage in the form of numerous trees downed/uprooted along its path. When all was said and done, this tornado tracked 27 miles from 2 miles southeast of Boley to 3 miles southwest of Nuyaka, and it injured four people in Okfuskee County. This tornado was unusual for the fact that it covered such a large area. A survey showed that the damage path was at times 3 miles wide, lending credence to the idea that there were several smaller tornadoes circulating around the larger tornado. The larger tornado reached as wide as 8/10 of a mile. |
