"Oklahoma, the heart of tornado alley" is a thing of the past. This is the 21st century. Total has-been.

Every time someone says it, there is a nasty outbreak that includes Oklahoma!

The Paris, Texas tornado has been upgraded to EF4. That makes 2 EF4s, 2 EF3s. Crazy outbreak for November.

Survey Summary:
Update (11/9): Further investigation of a house on CR
33620 revealed EF-4 damage. A National Weather Service survey
team assessed tornado damage across Lamar County, Texas in the
wake of storms which occurred Friday afternoon, November 4th. A
tornado formed near Brookston in western Lamar County and tracked
rapidly northeastward, passing to the northwest of Paris, Texas
before exiting the northern edge of Lamar County, east of Arthur
City.  The exact length of the tornado is not yet pinpointed, but
is believed to be at least 20 miles in length.  The tornado
continued into Choctaw County in far southeast Oklahoma, and the
track in that county is being surveyed by personnel from NWS
Tulsa. Several dozen individual homes, businesses and
outbuildings were impacted across western and northern Lamar
County.  Damage consistent with EF-3 intensity tornadic winds of
150-160 mph were identified at several locations west through
north of Paris.  In particular, several residences along Farm
Market Road 1499 northwest of Paris were completely unroofed,
with most external and internal walls destroyed.  This damage was
consistent with tornado intensities of approximately 160 mph.  EF-
3 damage of 145 to 155 mph was also identified with a small
number of structures along Farm to Market Road 906 near Midcity,
as well as with a residence along Farm to Market Road 2820 west-
northwest of Paris.  Primary damage to these structures was the
total loss of roofs and large-scale interior and exterior wall
failure. EF-2 damage, consistent with winds of 111 to 135 mph,
was identified with a number of other structures along the
tornado s path.  Structures with this degree of damage had either
all or large portions of their roofs destroyed or significantly
damaged, with some wall failures.  Widespread EF-1 damage was
also apparent all along the track from Brookston to east of
Arthur City, as evidenced by trees uprooted, power poles snapped,
outbuildings severely damaged, and/or wood frame homes with
serious roof damage.

 

This one remains unchanged, but just to compare

SURVEY SUMMARY:
THE TORNADO INITIALLY TOUCHED DOWN NEAR THE FULBRIGHT COMMUNITY
SOUTHWEST OF CLARKSVILLE. AN AERIAL SURVEY CONFIRMED THAT THE
TORNADO DAMAGE WAS TO TIN METAL ROOF PANELS THAT WERE PEELED OFF
OF A PLANT ON CR-1200. AS THE TORNADO CONTINUED, NEAR FM-411, A
SINGLE FAMILY HOME HAD ALL OF ITS WALLS REMOVED WITH ONLY THE
INTERIOR ROOM LEFT STANDING WHERE A FAMILY OF THREE SHELTERED
WHERE WINDS WERE ESTIMATED AT 150 MPH. AFTER IT CROSSED FM-411, 
IT HIT ANOTHER SINGLE FAMILY HOME AND COLLAPSED ALL THE WALLS, 
INJURING A WOMAN WHO LEFT HER VEHICLE TO TAKE SHELTER INSIDE THE HOME. 

THE TORNADO CONTINUED ON TO CR-1275 WHERE DEBARKING OF A FEW TREES
WAS FIRST OBSERVED IN ADDITION TO THOUSANDS OF TREES THAT WERE
SNAPPED AND UPROOTED THROUGHOUT THE PATH OF THE TORNADO. IT THEN
CROSSED US-82, CR-2123, CR-2124, AND FM-2283. AT FM-2283, IT
DESTROYED A SINGLE FAMILY HOME ALONG WITH SEVERAL OUTBUILDINGS.
THE HOME COULD NOT BE SURVEYED AT THIS LOCATION AS DEBRIS REMOVAL
HAD ALREADY BEGUN. THE TORNADO THEN CONTINUED TO MOVE ALONG 
CR-2125 AND CR-2030 BEFORE TAKING A MORE EASTWARD JOG ACROSS 
SH-37. AT THIS POINT, IT IS ESTIMATED THAT IT WAS ABOUT A THIRD 
OF A MILE WIDE AND IT BEGAN TO WIDEN FURTHER AS IT DEMONSTRATED 
MORE WIDESPREAD TREE SNAPS AND ISOLATED DEBARKING THROUGHOUT THE 
REMAINDER OF RED RIVER COUNTY, TX. 

AFTER CROSSING SH-37, THE TORNADO WIPED A SINGLE FAMILY HOME OFF 
OF ITS FOUNDATION NORTH OF CLARKSVILLE WITH LARGE PORTIONS OF THE 
WALLS AND ROOF CARRIED SEVERAL HUNDRED YARDS NORTHEAST OF THE 
HOME. THIS DAMAGE WAS SURROUNDED BY WIDESPREAD TREE SNAPS WITH 
ISOLATED DEBARKING. THIS LOCATION WAS REVIEWED BY A REGIONAL QUICK 
RESPONSE TEAM (QRT) THAT DETERMINED THE DAMAGE AT THIS LOCATION WAS 
EF-4 WITH MAXIMUM WINDS OF 170 MPH. THIS WAS BASED ON THE 
CONSTRUCTION OF THE HOME, THE DEBRIS FIELD SPREAD 50-200 YARDS 
DOWNSTREAM FROM THE HOME IN SMALL PIECES, AND THE SLAB OF THE HOME
BEING WIPED CLEAN. 10 PEOPLE ON THE PROPERTY OF THE HOME TOOK 
SHELTER IN AN OIL DRAIN OF A METAL OUTBUILDING THAT WAS COMPLETELY 
DESTROYED WITH NO INJURIES. THE DAMAGE SWATH WIDENED TO NEARLY 0.5
MILES NORTHEAST OF CLARKSVILLE AS IT APPROACHED ACWORTH AND 
CONTINUED TO CROSS THE RED RIVER. BEFORE IT CROSSED THE RED RIVER, 
IT LIFTED A DOUBLE WIDE MANUFACTURED HOME OFF THE GROUND NEAR 
FM-1159 AND THREW IT  50 YARDS WITH THREE DOGS IN IT THAT ALL 
SURVIVED. THERE WERE SEVERAL MORE STRUCTURES IN THE ACWORTH 
COMMUNITY THAT WERE DESTROYED, BUT HAVE NOT YET BEEN ANALYZED.

AFTER CROSSING THE RED RIVER AND ENTERING MCCURTAIN COUNTY,
OKLAHOMA, THE TORNADO PRODUCED EF-2 DAMAGE IN RURAL AREAS
SOUTHWEST OF IDABEL, RIPPING THE ROOFS OFF SEVERAL SINGLE FAMILY
HOMES. BEFORE REACHING IDABEL, THE EDGE OF THE TORNADO HIT THE 
OKLAHOMA MESONET IDABEL OBSERVING PLATFORM OFF OF RAVENS NEST ROAD. 
AT THE PLATFORM, A MEASURED GUST OF 108 MPH WAS RECORDED BY THE 10M 
ANEMOMETER. OTHER NEARBY SINGLE FAMILY HOMES SUSTAINED ROOF DAMAGE 
AND DAMAGE INTENSIFIED TO EF-2 WITH WINDS AT 125 ESTIMATED WHERE LARGE
SECTION OF THE ROOF STRUCTURE WAS REMOVED AND A WALL COLLAPSED ON
A SINGLE FAMILY HOME OFF OF OSPREY ROAD. THE TORNADO MOVED ON TO
SNAP SEVERAL HUNDRED TREES BEFORE HITTING A SINGLE FAMILY HOME
OFF OF BOSS RD WHICH HAD A WALL COLLAPSE AND PARTIAL ROOF DAMAGE
THAT COULD NOT BE RATED DUE TO TREES FALLING INTO THE HOME. MORE
EF-2 DAMAGE WAS OBSERVED AS THE TORNADO APPROACHED US-259 WHEN THE
TORNADO REMOVED THE ROOF AND MUCH OF THE SECOND STORY OF A SINGLE
FAMILY HOME. THE TWO PEOPLE IN THE HOME TOOK SHELTER ON THE FIRST
FLOOR UNDER THE STAIRS, PREVENTING INJURY AS 125 MPH WINDS 
DAMAGED THE HOME. 

AS THE TORNADO GOT INTO IDABEL, MORE SINGLE FAMILY HOME DAMAGE WAS
OBSERVED TO ROOFS OF HOMES IN SEVERAL NEIGHBORHOODS ON THE
SOUTHEAST SIDE OF IDABEL. ONE OF THE MOST HARD HIT SUBDIVISIONS
WAS COUNTRY CLUB ESTATES. NONE OF THE HOMES IN COUNTRY CLUB 
ESTATES ARE RATED DUE TO TREE DAMAGE WHICH RESULTED IN MUCH OF 
THE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE FROM TREES FALLING INTO HOMES. NEARBY, AT 
THE IDABEL COUNTRY CLUB, NEARLY EVERY TREE SUSTAINED DAMAGE ON 
APPROXIMATELY 6 HOLES, WITH MOSTLY SNAPS OBSERVED. THERE IS SOME
DEBARKING IN THIS AREA, WHERE AN EF-3 SWATH BEINGS. BEHIND THE
GOLF COURSE, A SINGLE FAMILY HOME WAS DESTROYED WITH MOST OF ITS
WALLS COLLAPSED EXCEPT FOR A SMALL INTERIOR ROOM.

THE TORNADO CONTINUED ON TO HIT THE KIAMICHI FAMILY MEDICAL CENTER 
WHICH WAS RATED AT EF-2 (115 MPH) DUE TO THE FACADE COMPONENTS
TORN FROM THE STRUCTURE. AS THE TORNADO APPROACHED US-259 AND EAST 
WASHINGTON STREET, IT DAMAGED THE SIGN OF A MCDONALD’S AND A SWATH
OF EF-3 WINDS COMPLETELY DESTROYED THE DONUT CROSSING AND EXPRESS 
TIRE STORES. AFTER CROSSING EAST WASHINGTON STREET, THE TORNADO 
COMPLETELY DESTROYED THE TRINITY BAPTIST CHURCH. WINDS AT THIS 
LOCATION WERE ESTIMATED TO BE 155 MPH WITH THE TOTAL DESTRUCTION 
OF THE METAL BUILDING SYSTEM WHICH WAS SURROUNDED BY A BRICK WALL 
THAT COLLAPSED WITH CONCRETE ANCHORS PULLED FROM THE GROUND. THE
TORNADO MOVED ON TO PRODUCE NARROW EF-2 DAMAGE IN THE MORE
BROADER EF-1 DAMAGE SWATH WITH SMALL VORTICES LIKELY EXTENDING 
DOWN TO THE GROUND FROM THE ELEVATED LARGE FUNNEL CLOUD AT THIS 
POINT. 

AFTER PUSHING NORTHEAST OF IDABEL, THE TORNADO CROSSED MAINLY
RURAL AREAS AND COMPLETELY DESTROYED CHICKEN HOUSES WHILE SNAPPING
HARDWOOD AND SOFTWOOD TREES FOR THE NEXT APPROXIMATELY TEN MILES.
AN AERIAL SURVEY INDICATES THAT THE TORNADO BRIEFLY LIFTED NEAR
THE LITTLE RIVER AND THEN TOUCHED DOWN AGAIN IN A FORESTED AREA
BEFORE DAMAGING A METAL STRUCTURE ATOP A CHICKEN PLANT OFF OF
CRAIG RD. A SURVEY TEAM FROM NWS LITTLE ROCK PICKED UP EF-2 DAMAGE
WITH 135 MPH WINDS BETWEEN EAGLETOWN AND BROKEN BOW JUST SOUTH OF
US-70. MANY LARGE, OLD GROWTH PINES AND HARDWOODS WERE UPROOTED OR
SNAPPED AND SEVERAL WOODEN UTILITY POLES WERE ALSO SNAPPED. A
DOUBLE WIDE MOBILE HOME AT THE EASTERN END OF BOX TURTLE ROAD WAS
MOVED 30 FEET NORTH OF ITS ORIGINAL LOCATION, CAUSING NEAR TOTAL
DESTRUCTION OF THE HOME. ONLY AROUND ONE-THIRD OF THE WALLS/ROOF
WERE LEFT WITH THE REMAINDER OF THE STRUCTURE REMOVED AND
SCATTERED WELL TO THE NORTH. THE EXPOSED UNDERCARRIAGE WAS BENT
AND TWISTED IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS. 

AS THE TORNADO CROSSED US-70 IMMEDIATELY WEST OF EAGLETOWN, MANY 
ADDITIONAL PINES AND HARDWOODS WERE UPROOTED OR SNAPPED. NEARLY 
ALL UTILITY POLES WITHIN THE PATH WERE ALSO SNAPPED OR PUSHED 
OVER. THE TORNADO THEN MOVED INTO A HEAVILY FORESTED AREA NORTH OF
EAGLETOWN WITH MORE SPORADIC DAMAGE NOTED ALONG OLD WINSHIP ROAD.
THE TRACK OF THIS TORNADO MAY CONTINUE TO THE MCCURTAIN-POLK- 
SEVIER TRI-COUNTY BORDER, BUT THIS AREA HAS NOT BEEN REACHED YET 
BY AERIAL OR GROUND SURVEY. 

A SPECIAL THANKS GOES OUT TO THE SURVEY TEAM FROM THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE IN LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS FOR CONDUCTING PORTIONS
OF THIS SURVEY AND TO THE TEXAS DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
(TDEM), CLARKSVILLE FIRE DEPARTMENT, OKLAHOMA MESONET, WFO FORT
WORTH, AMERICAN RED CROSS, MCCURTAIN COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT,
AND CHOCTAW NATION EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE IN 
LOCATING DAMAGE.

Now up to 45 filtered/48 unfiltered tornado reports. That makes this event the 5th most tornadic day of 2022. With 2 EF4s occurring on 11/4, it makes up for half of the EF4s of 2022. 

 

Each of the outbreaks ahead of 11/4 was in a 2-week span in late March/early April
