Extensive damage occurred in residential areas, with the most severe damage occurring in the Oak Tree development along the Oklahoma–Logan county line. There, several homes had large portions of their roof torn off and garages destroyed. An auto body repair shop and mobile home were totally destroyed. Throughout Edmond, six homes were destroyed, eight structures received major damage, 51 received minor damage and another 166 structures were affected.[11] Approximately 28,500 people lost power, primarily in the Edmond area.[12] Hundreds of trees were uprooted or significantly damaged along the tornado's path.[13] In Oklahoma County, the tornado left an estimated 28,500 people without power. Four people suffered minor injuries.[14] The combined damage of the two Oklahoma County tornadoes was estimated at $10.2 million.[15]

As it crossed the Red River of the South along the Texas-Oklahoma border, the tornado consolidated into a large funnel and tracked through the predominantly rural farmland of Jefferson, Love, and southwestern Carter counties, producing tree damage in all three;[22] two homes were damaged in Love County.[23] In central Carter County, the tornado reached low-end EF4 intensity as it struck the community of Lone Grove.[24] 35–40 structures at the Bar K mobile home park were obliterated and homes were completely destroyed. Six deaths occurred in the mobile home park; three people were found outside their homes, two inside, and one in a field.[25] The residents did not evacuate the mobile home park despite warnings being issued 35 minutes in advance of the tornado striking. A seventh person died in Lone Grove when their well-built home was destroyed. After departing Lone Grove, the tornado struck the Majestic Hills neighborhood of Ardmore, destroying eight homes, and collapsing the roofs and walls of several buildings at the Ardmore Adventist Academy.[26] The tornado then crossed I-35, killing a motorist before moving into rural areas and dissipating. The tornado was the deadliest to strike Oklahoma since May 3, 1999,[27] and the strongest tornado in the state during the month of February since modern records began in 1950. The previous record was two F3 tornadoes that touched down on February 17, 1961. An additional 46 people were injured.
