| May 1999 | Tornado (F1) | Sapulpa | $6,500,000 | The same system that earlier caused a destructive tornado in Stroud and a less destructive tornado in southwest Creek County produced an F1 tornado which first touched down in the north side of Sapulpa near OK Hwy 97 and Interstate 44. The tornado then skipped through an industrial area before moving across I-44. From there, the tornado travelled northeast parallel to and just south of the New Sapulpa Road (OK Hwy 66), taking out a string of homes and businesses before eventually reaching Tulsa County. This tornado tracked a total of 7 miles, 5.5 miles of which was in Creek County. The Hilton Mobile Home Park was especially hard-hit, where about 15 mobile homes were damaged or destroyed. Twenty-four residents of the mobile home park were treated on the scene for minor injuries, but none required a hospital visit. Needless to say, this tornado also blew down numerous power lines and trees. All in all, along its path in Creek County, this tornado heavily damaged 12 homes and caused light to moderate damage to about 150 others. Twenty mobile homes were heavily damaged, and 25 businesses were damaged. Total property damage in Creek County is estimated at $5.5 million.
