Figure 5. Tracks of all recorded tornadoes occurring wholly or partly within the immediate Oklahoma City, Oklahoma area, 1890-2008. County boundaries and major highways are shown. The immediate Oklahoma City area, and townships within it, are indicated with yellow and light orange colors. Short-track tornadoes (path lengths less than 1 mile) are shown by triangles. Dotted tracks indicate portions where either damage was intermittent or the tornado was reported as aloft. Arrows indicate that the damage track extended farther than shown. Note that tornadoes that occurred entirely outside the immediate Oklahoma City area (yellow- and light orange-colored areas) are not shown.
