When was the movie twister's June 1969 Wakita Oklahoma's F5 tornado?

All the tornadoes depicted in Twister were fictional. The F5 in the 1969 opening sequence was not stated to hit Wakita and was likely set somewhere east of Hennessy. The town of Wakita has never been hit by a tornado


In the movie twister was there ever a tornado or tornado scene played in Ada OK?

No. Ada is never mentioned and the only town portrayed in the movie is Wakita.


In the movie twister where was each Storm located including the first F5 tornado in the beginning of the movie with young Jo before they started chasing storms?

In most cases specific locations are not mentioned, but some information can be gleaned. In the opening scene, Jo's father appears to become concerned when the TV weatherman mentions northeastern Kingfisher County. If this is their location it would likely put them somewhere east of Hennessey. Oklahoma County, which includes Oklahoma City, is also mentioned, but these two areas are not adjacent so it was likely a separate storm. At the start of the first chase the navigator mentions Roger's Creek, which might put part of the chase in southeastern Dewey County, about 65 miles northwest of Oklahoma City. In going toward the second tornado of the chase, Jo puts their goal "north east of 81." This likely refers to US Route 81, which runs north-south through the state from Kansas to Texas. After that tornado it is mentioned that the group is close to Wakita, which is relatively close to Route 81 in Grant County in Northern Oklahoma. It is unclear where the F3 that destroys the second Dorothy probe is. Location names are difficult to hear clearly. The town Dusty mentions does not appear to exist. The TV broadcast seems to mention Washita County. The penultimate F4 tornado, of course, strikes the town of Wakita in Grant County. The final F5 is mentioned as starting to form 25 miles south of Wakita, which would put its start near Hillsdale in Garfield County, but does not specify where it is in the final scenes. However, the tornadoes in the movie seem to move northeast as its typical of tornadoes in the U.S.

When was the first tornado from the opening scene in Wakita Oklahoma as an F5 or EF5?

The tornado in the opening scene of Twister is stated to have have been an F5 and the titles said it was in June 1969. It does not appear to have been in Wakita and was probably closer to Hennessy. It was an entirely fictional event. No F5 tornadoes occurred in 1969. The scene itself is anachronistic. Jo's father refers to the tornado as an F5 even though the Fujita scale was not created until 1971. It could not have been an EF5 as the Enhanced Fujita scale only applies to tornadoes that occurred in 2007 or later.
