2010 Oklahoma Tornadoes

Last updated: 12/31 - added Westville-Cincinnati AR tornado

NOTE: Tornadoes are added to the list for the OUN area once I have reasonable confirmation of that tornado. However, specific data (including F-scale) may be changed as additional information is obtained. These changes will also affect the F-scale breakdown data at the top, so this data should be considered preliminary. Some very preliminary data of the individual tornadoes will usually be marked as preliminary by parenthesis, but the entire list should be considered preliminary. Non-OUN data is added to the list when a PNS documenting the tornado is issued, I am e-mailed confirmation, or Storm Data information is submitted. Tornadoes listed in LSRs are considered preliminary and are not added to the list at that point, unless it appears a survey had been conducted. (spEg)
