An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/TBAwZRqrZOHhgC3VRO-jfQ==, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The 1948 Tinker Air Force Base tornadoes were two tornadoes which struck Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on March 20 and 25, 1948. The March 20 tornado was the costliest tornado in Oklahoma history at the time, and still ranks as the second-most damaging in the state. On March 25, meteorologists at the base noticed the extreme similarity between the weather conditions of that day and March 20, and later in the day issued a "tornado forecast", which was verified when a tornado struck the base that evening. This was the first official tornado forecast, as well as the first successful tornado forecast, in recorded history.
