|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 2025 | Tornado (EF1) | Osage | $30,000 | This tornado developed along and just west of Highway 103, south of Osage. It moved northeast across Highway 412, and dissipated after crossing County Road 905. The tornado snapped and uprooted numerous trees, and damaged outbuildings. Based on this damage, maximum estimated wind in the tornado was 95 to 105 mph. |

| April 2024 | Tornado (EFU) | Osage | - | This tornado was recorded by a KNWA tower cam, with time stamps provided by KNWA to the NWS Tulsa. The location was estimated based on radar data for the period of time the tornado occurred in the video recording. The path is in heavily wooded terrain, inaccessible by road, so no damage is known to have occurred with the tornado. Thus, the rating of EF-unknown. |
