Survey Summary:
This tornado developed just south of I-40, about half a mile east of
the Okmulgee/McIntosh County line. It moved northeast snapping large
tree limbs and damaging an outbuilding, before it dissipated prior to
reaching Eufaula Lake. The tornado was reported by a storm chaser,
who recorded it after it crossed I-40. Emergency management officials
from McIntosh and Okmulgee Counties, as well as NWS Tulsa, surveyed
the damage path.
