A tornado developed just inside Cleveland County southwest of the intersection of Southeast 89th Street and Pottawatomie Road. A house and outbuilding suffered roof damage. The tornado moved east one-quarter of a mile before crossing Pottawatomie Road and moving into Pottawatomie County.
This tornado developed near SE 149th Street just west of the Pottawatomie County line. In Cleveland County, a garage and RV were damaged as well as a couple of trees and a flagpole. The tornado moved northeast crossing Pottawatomie Road into Pottawatomie County.
A tornado developed from a QLCS (Quasi-Linear Convective System) in northeast Cleveland County to the east-southeast of Stella. One mobile home had roof damage and trees were damaged along the path.
A public image submitted to the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management shows a tree snapped in half, falling onto an outbuilding. Event time is radar-estimated.
The fourteenth tornado of the outbreak moved into Cleveland County from Pottawatomie County just south of Lake Road (Pottawatomie County)/SE 134th Street (Cleveland County) and moved northeast for over a mile. In Cleveland County, the damage was primarily to trees.
Numerous ten inch diameter tree limbs were downed along with a seven inch diameter tree uprooted. A greenhouse, some fences, and a few roofs were also damaged.
Two nearly-simultaneous tornadoes occurred in northwestern Pottawatomie County from a QLCS storm. The second tornado developed just inside Cleveland County before moving quickly into Pottawatomie County. Tree damage was observed at the county line as the tornado moved into Pottawatomie County, but the grove of trees in Cleveland County was not accessible to the survey team.
A QLCS tornado developed southwest of SE 104th Street and Indian Meridian Road in far southeast Oklahoma City and moved just south of due east dissipating after crossing Triple XXX Road. One outbuilding was heavily damaged near Triple XXX Road and a number of trees were damaged along the path.
