Survey Summary:
A large and strong tornado moved across southern Pittsburg County.
Other tornadoes occurred there as well. The survey is complex and
and will take several more days. The primary tornado likely
handed off to another, a process where the first tornado dissipates
and a second quickly forms nearby.  Additionally, at least one
small tornado appears to have occurred just to the north of the
larger tornado and some minutes after the large tornado.  It is also
not yet clear if the larger tornado formed near Highway 69 in
Atoka County and intensified minutes later,or if the larger tornado
formed in Pittsburg County.  This being coordinated with WFO Norman.
Regardless of the initial formation, damage from the larger tornado
was more defined approximately 3 miles southwest of the town of Pittsburg.
From there the tornado quickly intensified and grew to be very wide.
The final width may be somewhat larger than a mile. The tornado continued
to the Blanco area and beyond.  The rating is currently at EF-2.
Three areas are currently being evaluated. Pending final decisions
at these locations, the rating could increase by one. Thursday
will be the third survey day for this area.  Areas of southern
Pittsburg County into western Latimer County will be surveyed in
coming days.

End Lat/Lon:            35.191 / -94.568

Survey Summary:
This tornado developed near Calhoun and moved northeast across
Calhoun Road and Roy Monks Road, where trees were uprooted and large
tree limbs were snapped. The tornado uprooted numerous trees and
snapped numerous tree limbs as it crossed Latham Road, Highway 59,
and Waterfield Street. The tornado continued to move northeast and
likely dissipated west of County Road 1240. The survey team attempted
to access areas east of Highway 59 where the tornado likely tracked,
but all available roads into those areas were severely flooded by the
Poteau River, thus the path east of Waterfield Street is estimated
based on the continuation of a tornadic debris signature and tight
velocity couplet from the KSRX WSR-88D.
