Severe weather conditions swept through parts of northeastern Oklahoma on Wednesday morning, with meteorologists closely monitoring what may have been a tornado that touched down along Highway 20 between Owasso and Claremore, specifically in the Keetonville Hill area.
Chief Meteorologists Travis Meyer and Alan Crone reported that at approximately 6:45 a.m., radar data indicated a possible tornado along Highway 20, where a significant amount of debris appeared to have been lifted into the air.
While this radar signature strongly suggests tornadic activity, confirmation will depend on an official ground survey of the area.
