Daily Historical Weather for November 26
Strong winds followed a cold front as it moved east across Oklahoma on this date in 1965. The 50 to 60 mph winds blew down a 40 foot radio tower at Altus, shattered many windows, and downed tree limbs in several towns. The winds also fanned hundreds of grass and timber fires. One firefighter was critically burned by a wind whipped grass fire in northwest Oklahoma City. The fires burned thousands of acres across northeast Oklahoma, including two homes and several barns.
