05.13.10 May 10, 2010 Tornado Outbreak

The National Weather Service is working to compile information and survey damage
on the tornado outbreak that occurred across Oklahoma on May 10th. Although they
do not have an exact total of tornadoes at this point, they do know that tornado damage
paths are spread over 200 miles from near the Kansas-Oklahoma border to near the Red River.

Prior to Monday's storms, Oklahoma had a slow start to the 2010 tornado season with
only three reported tornadoes. Forecasters began to mention the possibility of a significant
severe weather event nearly a week before the storms hit, when they noticed many factors
would come together to create a potentially dangerous weather situation across Oklahoma.
As storm season in Oklahoma continues, remember to check forecasts regularly.

Agweather includes forecast products from the National Weather Service in the "Forecast"
section. If severe weather is forecasted, a red "Hazardous Weather Outlook" link will
