Local Weather History For April 26th...

One of the most significant tornado outbreaks over the Southern

tornadoes, including ten in Oklahoma, ravaged the area. The most
infamous of the storms struck the area around Andover and Wichita,
Kansas. In Andover, 17 people were killed and more than 225 injured.
The strongest storm in Oklahoma was the Red Rock tornado. This storm
began just east of Garber, in Garfield County, and traveled 66 miles

of this intense tornado, it injured only six people.
