Strong to severe thunderstorms developed across eastern Oklahoma and northwestern Arkansas during the afternoon and evening of July 28, 2022. A storm over eastern Tulsa County interacted with an outflow boundary from storms to the north and quickly produced a QLCS tornado that resulted in a swath of damage across portions of Broken Arrow, OK.

Several homes received minor roof damage, a small outbuilding was damaged, some trees were uprooted or snapped, and numerous large tree limbs were snapped throughout the tornado path.
November 4, 2022 Tornado Event
Severe thunderstorms moved through eastern Oklahoma and northwestern Arkansas on the afternoon and evening of November 4, 2022. The atmosphere became moderately unstable ahead of a cold front approaching from the north and dry line approaching from the west. Deep layer and low-level wind shear increased during the afternoon and evening across the area and became very strong by early evening. The combination of moderately strong instability and strong to very strong wind shear resulted in some supercell thunderstorm structures, as well as eventually a severe squall line that moved through the region.
A supercell thunderstorm produced a long-track, significant tornado in Lamar County, TX, and an NWS damage survey team confirmed that this tornado continued into and across much of Choctaw County, OK. It remained a strong tornado in Choctaw County, with an EF-2 rating for that segment. Another tornado developed in far northern McCurtain County and moved into southern Le Flore County near Honobia. A tornado also devleoped near Heavener. Both of these tornadoes occurred in extremely rough terrain. Additional tornadoes were confirmed through damage surveys, including one near Mansfield, AR, one near Hammond Mountain, AR, one near Branch, AR, and another near Etna, AR.
Additionally, tornado damage has been confirmed through a survey by county emergency management west-southwest of Altus, AR and south of Ozark, AR. This damage is coincident with a radar detected tornadic debris signature (TDS), which continues across the Arkansas River southwest of Altus where more tree damage was found.
Our survey team attempted to investigate a persistent radar detected tornadic debris signature in far eastern Sebastian County and southwest Franklin County south-southwest of Charleston. The area was inaccessible due to active training on Fort Chaffee. The entire path appears to remain over Fort Chaffee. Currently, this tornado will be rated EF-Unknown due to the inability to investigate the area where the tornado likely damaged trees to produce the tornadic debris signature.
Two tornadoes and a swath of wind damage occurred during the evening with a line of thunderstorms that moved across Madison and Carroll Counties in northwestern AR. The tornadoes developed with an area of rotation at the north end of the line called a comma head circulation.

Extensive tree damage occurred just north of the Red River with numerous hardwood trees snapped from E2150 Rd to E2140 Rd. The tornado moved northeast, becoming about a mile wide several miles south of Sawyer, and continued to produce a very wide damage swath until a couple miles north of Highway 70.

The NWS survey team that tried to investigate this tornado could not access the area due to it being on Fort Chafee and a live fire exercise was occurring at the time. The local emergency management also could not access this area on subsequent days. If later data becomes available to help us determine the extent of the tree damage, the rating of this tornado will be adjusted accordingly from the EF-Unknown to the EF-rating consistent with the estimated wind speed obtained from the tree damage.
