Severe thunderstorms developed in northeast Oklahoma ahead of a cold
front during the late afternoon of April 24th and moved across eastern
Oklahoma during the evening. The thunderstorms spawned 6 tornadoes, and
produced hail to baseball size and damaging straight line winds.
The first two tornadoes of the day were the most destructive. The
first tornado touched down in East Tulsa near 6th Street and 135th East
Avenue at 1750CST. This tornado moved northeast for about a mile before
entering Rogers County at 1753CST. There, a truck stop near Interstate
44 and 161st East Avenue took a direct hit from the tornado. Numerous
tractor-trailers and cars were destroyed in the vicinity of the truck
stop. 6 people were killed at or near the truck stop. The tornado then
continued northeast into Catoosa where several residential
neighborhoods and the Colonial Port Mobile Home Park received heavy
damage. The 7th and final fatality associated with this tornado
occurred at the mobile home park. The tornado dissipated at 1803CST 1
mile west of State Highway 66 north of Catoosa. This F-4 tornado

businesses in Catoosa. 8 to 10 million dollars worth of damage was done
to the Catoosa schools, with the high school sustaining the brunt of
the damage. Total damage caused by the tornadoes has been estimated at
over 100 million dollars. This thunderstorm also produced a microburst
