Local Weather History For May 8th...

Back in 2003, this date was the second of 3 consecutive days with
strong to violent tornadoes. Strong tornadoes occurred over extreme
south-central Oklahoma during the early morning hours, from Cornish
to near Antioch. Another round of tornado producing thunderstorms
struck central Oklahoma later in the day, producing a violent tornado
that affected Moore, Oklahoma City, Midwest City, and Choctaw. This
F4 tornado took on a path very similar to the May 3, 1999 devastating
tornado. This particular tornado back in 2003 affected areas from
Newcastle and Moore, to Del City and Choctaw. Although over 130
people were injured, there were no fatalities.
