Tornado Track Tool

Last Fall we had a WeatherBuzz post showing the new Tornado Tracks Tool from the Midwestern Regional Climate Center. So as we enter severe weather season, I thought it would be interesting to show some tornado climatology for the area since 1950. Since 1950, Warren County has seen 11 tornadoes EF1 or stronger, and 3 […]

Multiple tornadoes were reported from Oklahoma through Arkansas with Oklahoma City and Tulsa right in the middle of several of those tornado warned storms.
