November came a bit early this year disguised as October. The month finished nearly 7 degrees below normal to rank as the second coolest October on record. Lots of moisture went along with that cool weather and the statewide average precipitation finished with a surplus of more than 3 inches, enough to rank as the fifth wettest on record. The rainfall amounts became extreme in eastern Oklahoma, exemplified by the 50 reports of flash flooding in that area. The southeastern region had a surplus of over 7 inches that helped it to its second-wettest October on record. Meanwhile, the Panhandle, west central and east central sections of the state experienced their coolest Octobers on record. Severe weather was confined mostly to flooding, but there was a tornado touchdown in Okfuskee County. The twister struck near Weleetka and damaged some roofs but was rated an EF0 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
