Although storms were relatively benign up to the point where they reached Tinker, a supercell formed just west of the base, and at around 6 pm a tornado touched down on the base for the second time in six days.
This second tornado caused $6 million in damage, or $64 million in 2019 dollars.
However, due to precautions enacted because of the tornado forecast, no injuries were reported, and damage totals could have been much higher.
