There were two significant tornadoes on March 20, 1948, both in the Oklahoma City area. The first, an F3, caused major damage to Tinker Air Force base. This tornado prompted the first ever tornado warning.

The second tornado, an F2, touched down on the air base and damaged several buildings there before moving to other parts of the metro area.
