Local Weather History For April 1st...
On April 1, 1983, high winds behind a cold front brought widespread
damage to the area. Winds measured at 65 to 85 mph, blew down power
lines and trees, and blew the roofs off several homes. One man
drowned in Arbuckle Reservoir when his boat capsized. The wind
destroyed a commuter airplane in Lawton worth more than $1 million,
while blowing cars, trucks, and motor homes off area roadways.
