| 23:23Z | EF0 | KTLX | OK | Pottawatomie | St Louis | A tornado developed under a strengthening supercell, first spotted as a narrow columnar condensation to the ground by media helicopter and storm chasers. The tornado likely formed about 4 miles west of Maud and then moved northeast. EF0 damage was found to trees on highway 9A 1.5 miles northwest of Maud. Other trees were damaged on Johnson Rd.

| 23:34Z | EFU | KFDR | TX | King | Grow | Numerous storm chasers documented a tornado that began near the intersection of US Highway 83 and Farm to Market Road 1168. The tornado moved roughly east-southeast remaining close to Farm to Market Road 1168 and 3416 for about five miles before turning east and crossing County Road 204. An NWS storm survey revealed no known damage. |
| 23:37Z | EFU | KTLX | OK | Pottawatomie | Maud | An off-duty NWS meteorologist and Oklahoma City TV station helicopters observed a tornado north of Maud after the initial tornado dissipated. The location of this tornado was estimated as it produced no known damage. |
| 23:44Z | EF2 | KTLX | OK | Seminole | Seminole | A long track tornado began between Maud and Seminole, before making a north to northeast path of damage across Seminole County. The most extensive damage was to buildings just east of downtown Seminole, as well as near the Seminole Academy. Buildings had the roofs removed from the tornado, and some buildings had exterior walls damaged. As the tornado moved to the northeast, it produced sporadic damage to mainly rural areas northeast of Seminole. |
| 00:00Z | EFU | KFDR | TX | King | Grow | An NWS storm survey revealed no known damage from this tornado which was documented by several storm chasers. The tornado moved over rangeland in northeastern King County before crossing into Foard County. |
| 00:01Z | EF0 | KTLX | OK | Seminole | Seminole | The NWS storm survey observed tree damage associated with a second tornado path parallel to the primary Seminole tornado path to the northeast of Seminole. |
| 00:15Z | EFU | KFDR | TX | Foard | Crowell | Storm chasers observed this tornado that initially developed in northern King County TX (see separate entry for King County from NWS Lubbock TX) before moving northeast into the far southwest corner of Foard County. A storm survey observed no damage as this tornado occurred in open ranchland with few roads, so the specific location is estimated. |
| 00:21Z | EF1 | KTLX | OK | Seminole | Cromwell | This tornado touched down southwest of Cromwell with the first damage noted near the intersection of county roads NS3660 and EW1180 where tree limb damage was produced. The tornado moved northeast causing scattered tree damage before moving into Cromwell. The tornado had grown to be around 600 yards wide by the time it reached Cromwell and damage was noted over a wide area of the town. The roof and walls of one mobile home was destroyed and other mobile homes were damaged, an RV was flipped over, and at least one house suffered roof damage. There was also significant tree damage at various locations in town. The tornado moved northeast through town, and then turned toward the east-northeast and entered Okfuskee County (see separate entry for Okfuskee County from the NWS office in Tulsa) along and north of State Highway 99A. |
| 00:30Z | EF1 | KTLX | OK | Okfuskee | Bearden | This tornado developed in Seminole County, and produced damage in Cromwell before moving into Okfuskee County. It crossed into Okfuskee County about a mile northeast of Cromwell, or about four miles west of Bearden, and moved east-northeast damaging trees. The tornado enlarged and turned more northeast as it approached the E1130 Road, where the tree damage increased with numerous uprooted and snapped trees through where it crossed Highway 48 with a damage path width of about 3/4 of a mile wide. Outbuildings were also damaged. A gas station received minor damage where it crossed I-40. The tornado continued north-northeast producing light tree damage across the E1100 Road and Highway 56, then dissipated before it reached Highway 62 northwest of Okemah. Based on this damage, maximum estimated wind in this segment of the tornado was 105 to 110 mph. |
| 00:40Z | EF0 | KFDR | TX | Foard | Crowell | This tornado developed southwest of Crowell and was observed by many storm spotters and storm chasers. Although information from storm chasers indicate that the tornado initially formed farther to the west-southwest in open ranchland, the damage found in a storm survey was generally confined to mesquite tree limb damage observed on FM-263 about 3 miles west of State Highway 6. Numerous storm chaser videos and observations show that the tornado turned more to just south of east after crossing FM-263 and narrowly missed wind turbines along FM-263 just west of Highway 6 before turning to the northeast and crossing State Highway 6 before dissipating. |
| 00:44Z | EF1 | KTLX | OK | Okfuskee | Bearden | This tornado uprooted a few trees, and snapped large tree limbs. Based on this damage, maximum estimated wind in the tornado was 90 to 95 mph. |
| 01:07Z | EF1 | KTLX | OK | Pottawatomie | Brooksville | Damage was found along US-177 to the south of Tecumseh as the tornado moved to the north and northeast. Additional tree damage was found by the survey crew along Harrison Road before the tornado dissipated just west of Skagg City Road. |
| 01:11Z | EFU | KFDR | TX | Foard | Crowell | Storm chasers reported a tornado southeast of Crowell at 811 pm CDT. No damage is known to have occurred and the location is estimated based on the chasers' viewpoints. |
| 01:25Z | EF0 | KFDR | TX | Foard | Thalia | The Lockett tornado was observed by storm spotters and storm chasers to have developed in eastern Foard County to the southwest of Thalia. This tornado moved east and then northeast before crossing into Wilbarger County and eventually moving through Lockett TX. In Foard County, only tree damage was observed along County Road 183, otherwise the tornado moved through open or inaccessible ranchland. |
| 01:28Z | EF2 | KTLX | OK | Pottawatomie | Earlsboro | This tornado touched down initially just southeast of the town of Earlsboro and made a looping path striking Earlsboro. The tornado initially moved northeast, then north about one-half mile west of the Pottawatomie-Seminole County line, then turned northwest and west along and north of Bob Crouch Road to the northeast of Earlsboro. The tornado then moved southeast and south across the east side of Earlsboro moving down Willie Stargell Avenue. The most significant damage was near the end of the path a mobile home, metal buildings and a outbuilding were destroyed. |
| 01:35Z | EF1 | KTLX | OK | Pottawatomie | Earlsboro | The second Earlsboro tornado began nearly in the same spot that the first one developed (and dissipated). The first damage to trees and buildings was noted just east of the Union Pacific tracks along SH-9/US-270. The tornado then moved to briefly to the southeast before turning to the east. The tornado moved into Seminole County near SH-9/US-270. |
| 01:38Z | EF0 | KTLX | OK | Seminole | Seminole | The second Earlsboro tornado moved into Seminole County near SH-9/US-270 and moved east and then east-northeast. The tornado produced light damage in Seminole County before dissipating near SH-3E just northwest of Seminole. |
| 01:45Z | EF3 | KFDR | TX | Wilbarger | Lockett | The long-lived Lockett tornado moved into Wilbarger County from Foard County and continued to move northeast. As the tornado approached County Road 138, the tornado created significant tree damage and roof damage to a home, and destroyed an outbuilding. Along County Road 138, at least seven large steel electrical transmission towers were bent over, with the western most tower blown to the south. Roof damage occurred to another home just north of County Road 138 an another outbuilding was heavily damaged along County Road 83. The tornado then turned to the north and damaged another house, destroyed a barn and broke wooden utility poles along County Road 85 to the south of Lockett.||The tornado continued to move north and moved through mainly the eastern portion of the town of Lockett where it produced roof and wall damage to a number of homes and businesses, as well as tree and power pole damage. The tornado continued to veer in direction and moved north-northwest in areas north of Lockett before dissipating. |
