One supercell across central Oklahoma produced 10 tornadoes from Caddo to Creek Counties during the evening hours of May 9, 2003.
The most significant tornado affected central to northeastern sections of Oklahoma County from Interstate 35 and areas along Interstate 44 to near Luther.

The supercell developed across Greer County during the early evening and slowly moved east/northeast and started to produce tornadoes in Caddo County at around 9:00 pm.
As it approached Interstate 40 near Bethany the National Weather Service forecast office in Norman issued a tornado emergency citing that the radar was detecting a potentially large and violent tornado in the area.
Two tornadoes in Bethany and Warr Acres rated F1 produced minor to moderate damage mostly to trees but several structures were also damaged including churches, a storage facility, car ports, airports hangars at the Wiley Post Airport, several homes, warehouses and businesses.
Eight were injured in the Bethany tornado and damage was pegged at $10 million.

Just after 10:30 pm, a large tornado touched down northwest of the Interstate 35 and Interstate 44 interchange in northeastern Oklahoma City, near the respective studios of KWTV and KOCB.
The tornado was filmed live by KFOR-TV helicopter reporter Jim Gardner near I-35 at Britton Road (northeast of the NBC affiliate's studio facilities) and large power flashes were seen from the air during the station's live severe weather coverage.
The National Weather Service issued another tornado emergency for that particular tornado.
Moving parallel along the Turner Turnpike, the tornado produced its worst damage just east of I-35/44 where damage to an industrial building and a horse ranching operation was rated F3.
Additionally, the tornado damaged several homes and barns in northeast Oklahoma City and Oklahoma County with one home destroyed.
Tornado damage estimates were about $7 million.
The tornado lifted shortly after 11:00 pm.
Despite extensive damage, only two people were injured as most of the tornado track moved over sparsely populated areas and also near Interstate 44, where there were few structures.
Additional tornadoes touched down until after midnight and numerous structures in Davenport and Stroud in Lincoln County sustained significant damage shortly before midnight.
No fatalities were reported in Oklahoma during the outbreak.
