Local Weather History For May 3rd...

On May 3, 1999, multiple supercell thunderstorms produced large and
damaging tornadoes mainly over central Oklahoma during the late
afternoon and evening hours. This tornado outbreak is arguably the
most significant outbreak in Oklahoma recorded history. Although
numerous towns were hit by more than 70 tornadoes across Oklahoma,
the most violent tornadoes affected locations like Amber and Bridge
Creek, Moore, Del City, Midwest City, Crescent, and Mulhall. The
latest statistics show that 40 people died in Oklahoma as a direct
result of the twisters, and 675 were injured. Numerous homes and
businesses were destroyed with a total damage estimate of $1.2
billion.
