A tornado developed in western Atoka County south of the community of Wilson and west-northwest of Boggy Depot State Park. A barn had significant roof damage on Bob White Lane and trees and power lines were downed along Bob White Lane and Artesian Lane.
This tornado initially developed in Bryan County near Blue, and entered Atoka County just west of Matoy Road. The tornado produced widespread tree damage as it moved northeast crossing Matoy Road on either side of Clear Boggy Creek. North of the creek, a cabin or small home was destroyed, and another home was damaged. As the tornado moved north-northeast, damage continued to trees, power poles, and sheds. One mobile home was blown off piers south-southwest of Lane. The tornado weakened as it approached State Highway 3 and the town of Lane. The tornado brushed the town of Lane with some tree and shingle damage before dissipating about 1.5 miles northeast of Lane.
Another area of damage occurred south of the large tornado that devastated Tushka. This tornado damaged numerous trees and power lines. Monetary damages were estimated.
