A strong tornado developed in Bryan County near the intersection of Old US Highway 70 and Pirtle Road, 2.5 miles west-southwest of Blue. The tornado moved northeast and destroyed a mobile home north of Blue where a 48-year old woman was killed. This was one of a few mobile homes that were destroyed as the tornado moved through Bryan County (DI 3, DOD 8-9). Other homes also suffered roof damage or other damage from falling trees. From north of Blue, the tornado turned to the north and moved into Atoka County.
