       "That would make this October the most active October on record for tornadoes in Oklahoma, surpassing 1998, which had 27," he wrote in a Tuesday tweet.

       A tally from the National Weather Service (NWS) shows 10 tornadoes recorded on Oct. 10, nine on Oct. 12 and three on Oct. 13.

       The agency noted that it would continue to investigate the tornadoes and other reports of damage from the severe storms and that details were subject to change.

       NWS data also shows that there have been more than 50 tornadoes in the state this year and that the highest number of annual tornadoes was recorded in 2019.

       For the month of October, the agency ranks 2021 first with 28 tornadoes, 1998 placing second with 27 and 2001 in third with 19.
