Tornadoes Near Dixie
Tornadoes started being documented in the 1950s in Oklahoma. According to www.tornadohistoryproject.com (to see actual tornado tracks), 4 EF-4 tornadoes have affected the areas near Dixie.
EF-4 Occurrence Dates:
June 8, 1974 3:55 p. m. - 14 Fatalities and 150 Injured
April 26, 1984 10:05 p.m. - 3 Fatalities and 37 Injured
April 29, 1984 9:20 a.m. - 1 Fatality and 60 Injured
April 26, 1991 7:10 p.m. - 1 Fatality and 24 Injured
The area is a little hilly and they seem to take the track just south and east of Dixie. They like Highway 412 (the speed limit is higher... ha-ha).
My husband experienced the 1991 tornado. His family was able to get into the storm shelter as the tornado passed by. He and his father peeked out and watched the destruction as it hit across the narrow section of the lake. His great grandmother and great aunt's house was destroyed in the neighborhood of Ridgemont just a couple miles away. They were all unharmed.
