May 4, 1961 - The Cheyenne F2 #tornado as listed in the NWS database. #okwx
This tornado tracked 24 miles in the Cheyenne and Strong City area. This was also the day of the first documented "scientific" tornado chase which captured an F3 tornado that affected the Geary area.
As clouds begin to clear, we can see the large swath of snow left behind by this storm. The areas in green are all snow covered, with snow on the ground all the way down to the Gulf Coast of Texas. #okwx#arwx
