| May 2004 | Tornado (F3) | Depew | $350,000 | A tornado moved from the west northwest of Depew to the north northeast of Depew. At its strongest it produced F3 damage. The F3 rating was based on a 20 foot section of a concrete anchored iron pipe cattle gate being removed from the ground and displaced 30 feet. The gate was anchored by 3 posts. All of the posts were set in 24 inches of concrete. Another tornado formed near and just after this tornado dissipated. The two tornadoes formed a nearly continuous damage path. The damage produced by the two tornadoes in western Creek County included 5 mobile homes destroyed, 2 houses destroyed, and 4 houses with significant roof damage. The path of the second tornado is described in a subsequent entry. |
| May 2004 | Tornado (F1) | Depew | $150,000 | This is the tornado mentioned in the previous entry. It formed near and just after the first tornado and traveled mainly through open territory. However, some of the structural damage that was mentioned earlier occurred along its path. |
