Survey Summary:

A tornado began near South Bluebird Lane, where a few homes
sustained minor roof damage and a large metal tank was knocked over and
rolled. The tornado snapped several trees as it crossed South
Park Lane, just north of the West Voca Road intersection. The
tornado then paralleled West Voca Road where tree and minor roof
damage was noted eastward towards U.S. Highway 69. The tornado
then crossed U.S. Highway 69 and Old U.S. Highway 69 just north
of Caney, where trees were snapped and uprooted. The tornado
continued to the southeast, damaging trees and outbuildings along
east Allison Road. The most significant damage occurred near the
intersection of Allison Road and Forest Hill Road, where a mobile
home was destroyed and other homes received varying degrees of
roof damage. The tornado also bent several large metal high-
tension power poles east of this intersection along Allison Road.
Further to the east, a house along South Sawmill Road lost a
significant portion of its roof. Another concentrated area of
damage was noted near the East Cottonwood Road and South Iron
Stob Road intersection, where several homes, barns and at least
one camper were significantly damaged. Two additional residences
along East Cottonwood Road experienced light damage as the
tornado began to dissipate, just west of Oklahoma State Highway
109A. 

In addition, very strong straight-line winds just south of
the tornado path caused significant damage in and near Caney. In
addition to widespread damage to trees, roofs and outbuildings,
an anchored 20-ft storage unit was completely destroyed on the
southwest side of town. Maximum wind speeds associated with this damage
are estimated to be as high as 100-105 mph, equivalent to portions
of the tornado track.
