A strong storm system moved into the Midwestern United states, with a trailing strong cold front that moved through Oklahoma during the late evening of the 23rd and the early morning of the 24th. The strengthening storm system created a tight pressure gradient over the southern plains, resulting in very strong winds at the surface. The strong winds lasted through much of the afternoon over Oklahoma before lessening during the early evening hours.
The strong winds caused a lot of damage across the state. Most of the damage consisted of extensive tree and power line damage. The power line damage resulted in thousands to lose power during parts of the afternoon. Semi-trucks were overturned due to high wind in Stephens and Comanche counties. Tin roofs peeled off of buildings in Stephens, Comanche, and Love counties. Other structural damage to homes occurred in Carter, Jackson, Murray, and Johnston counties. Grass fires moved quickly due to the high wind with the biggest occurring in Comanche county. Forty to fifty acres burned before being finally extinguished. Another grass fire in Oklahoma county resulted in 60 to 80 cars completely burned at a auto salvage yard. Monetary value for damage is estimated at $388 thousand.
