Osage, the town this property stands in, in 7 storm reports between 1998 and 2025: 3 hail, 2 tornado, 1 thunderstorm wind, 1 flash flood.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
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.
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.
