...NWS DAMAGE SURVEY FOR 05/26/2019 TORNADO EVENT...

.OVERVIEW...A squall line moved into northeastern Oklahoma from
the west during the late evening hours of Saturday, May 25th. Several
tornadoes developed along the leading edge of the line. A long-lived
circulation occurred along the line where the line intersected an
outflow boundary from storms that weakened to the north. That
circulation resulted in several tornadoes from Sapulpa to near the
Arkansas state line. Several of those tornadoes have been surveyed 
and several remain to be surveyed. In addition to the tornadoes,
there was a lot of straight-line wind damage across the region. 
Details of those that have been surveyed follow.
