Here are some lightning pictures
from storm about 6 miles east of where possible tornado touchdown
occurred
All pictures were taken from about 1.5 east of Shady Point Oklahoma.
1st picture is looking NNW and
shows E-W laying chicken houses. in the foreground notice
the beams of wood..from the chicken houses. Those pieces
had to travel southward to reach that location.

Summary: I believe the
tornado travled nearly due NE from intial damage area (in pic 11)
across severely damaged home (possibly intensifying) and then
continuing NE to the chicken houses were it began a more ENE
direction before weakening. The path width is estimated at
no more than 50 yards (probably 25ish yards) and
possibly as much as 1/4 mile long. NO other damage was seen
to anything in any other direction except possibly more damage NE
of these pictures (someone thought more structures were damaged
that direction but didnt have time allowance to check)
Obviously the winds on the right side were stronger and that
matches up with more wind damage that direction. Also see
picture below

this home was West of severely
damaged home and had no damage at all to any section but a home
on the East side of severely damaged home had shingles removed
from nearly the same distance from severely damaged home as
undamaged home on west side. Other pictures can be
found by typing in numbers anywhere from
http://realclearwx.com/images/31034.jpg to http://realclearwx.com/images/31080.jpg
Storm was previously tornado
warned in county adjacent west to Leflore County.
