Local Weather History For May 9th...
This day in 2003 marked the last day of a 3-day string of strong to
violent tornadoes over Oklahoma. Like the day before, May 9, 2003 saw
strong tornadoes plague central parts of the Sooner state. During the
evening hours, tornadic storms ripped through areas from near Binger,
in Caddo County, east and northeast through Union City, Bethany and
Warr Acres, into Edmond, Wellston and Stroud. The strongest tornado
produced F3 damage as it tore through the Edmond and Luther areas.
Remarkably, there were only 10 injuries and no fatalities. The low
numbers are attributed to the preparedness and actions taken by
Oklahomans, emergency management, broadcast media, and the National
Weather Service Forecast Office.
