A large, multiple vortex tornado began just east of the Harmon/Jackson County line approximately 7.5 miles southwest of Duke. This tornado moved slowly southeast, then turned more easterly as it approached County Road N1880. One house west of N1880 Road had most of the shingles and some decking removed. The tornado caused tree damage crossing N1880 Road, then continued east breaking power poles across 1.2 miles as it crossed State Highway 34. East of State Highway 34, a mobile home was blown northeast about 75 yards down a hill, and a metal canopy garage was destroyed. The tornado turned northeast for the next five miles. One home received roof damage, and some farm equipment, trees and power poles were damaged. As the tornado approached County Road N1960, it turned north with the centerline moving very close to N1960 Road for the last 2.5 miles. At least two homes and two mobile homes suffered significant roof damage, and at least four barns our outbuildings were destroyed near N1960 Road as this tornado approached and crossed US-62. The tornado finally dissipated along N1960 road about 2/3 of a mile north of US-62.
A satellite tornado was observed moving south around the circulation of the primary tornado. This tornado damaged a home as it crossed E1680 Road just east of SH-34.
The storm that produced the tornado that started in Hardeman County Texas continued to move northeast and produced another tornado near Duke, Oklahoma. The tornado blew the roof off a greenhouse approximately two miles northeast of Duke. Six power poles were also downed along with numerous trees damaged.
A tornado developed just northeast of Duke where some light damage was reported. The tornado continued to move north into Greer County about a mile east of State Highway 34.
Thunderstorms in southwest Oklahoma during the evening hours on the 9th produced hail up to tennis ball-size and damaging winds. Thunderstorm winds downed two-inch-diameter tree limbs five miles south of Duke.
