episode_narrativeSummary of events for May 16-17 1999:A cluster of thunderstorms formed on the evening of May 16 over western Oklahoma. This cluster of storms started moving quickly east and formed into a large bow echo, a radar signature indicative of damaging winds. Indeed, damaging winds swept across nearly all of eastern Oklahoma late on the evening of May 16 and early on the morning of May 17. The apex of the bow, or the area of strongest winds, moved from near Okemah through Muskogee County and on to Westville. While there were numerous reports of wind damage, Muskogee County saw the most serious damage, including several injuries when winds toppled mobile homes. Marginally severe hail also accompanied this line of storms.After sunrise, another round of more widely scattered thunderstorms moved east out of central Oklahoma and moved across the eastern third of the state. These storms produced more damaging winds and marginally severe hail.During the afternoon, an outflow boundary turned up stationary across southeast Oklahoma and was the focus for more thunderstorm development. The afternoon storms mainly produced marginally severe hail. In addition, the stationary movement of the outflow boundary allowed thunderstorm cells to train behind each other, leading to locally heavy rainfall.
