Storms are based on damage and not wind unfortunately. Maybe they will change that in the future.

I doubt this very seriously. In fact, I'm just gonna outright call bullshite. The tornadic part of the storm missed the airport, and the publicly accessible weather station at the airport recorded a 45mph max gust, and it is still reporting as of 10:40pm.


The other station near Bartlesville would have been closer to the tornado, and it recorded a max gust of 53mph and is still reporting as of 10:45pm.
