Time Traveler Predicts Tornado Outbreak In Oklahoma: What To Expect?

You can find absolutely anything on the internet. It's the commonality that binds us all to information none of us wanted, like conspiracies and bold predictions.

Did you know a fair number of people believe that a portal to the Flat Earth Ice Wall is located in Oklahoma City?

Back in February of this year, another time traveler foretold a new world-record EF6 tornado would hit Tulsa on April 6th... and there was an outbreak during this time, but the only large tornadoes hit Alabama on that date.

Time travelers have about the same track record as trained meteorologists when it comes to the weather. Fair predictions at best.

The 2026 Tulsa tornado prediction.

According to one future historian, a large tornado outbreak will occur on May 8th, 2026. It will spawn six large tornadoes in Eastern Oklahoma and Western Arkansas.

The tornado path is set directly through Downtown Tulsa on a line from basically straight up I-44. But even though it will hit the absolute heart of T-Town, it will be rated an EF3 with peak windspeeds of 150 MPH.

Red Flag.

If you're familiar with the Enhanced Fujita Scale, and what self-respecting Oklahoman isn't, you know that the EF scale isn't one of windspeed. It used to be, but the Bridge Creek-Moore F5 changed everything in 1999 when they started modifying the scale.

The EF scale is one of destruction. It's all about the damage.

This is why the world's largest tornado in recorded history, 2.6 miles wide with windspeeds of nearly 300 MPH, went into the record books as an EF3. It happened in a very rural and undeveloped portion of farmland outside of El Reno, only kissing civilization on the fringe.

Because it didn't flatten hardly anything other than crops and a handful of barns and structures, it was rated well below the EF5 rating it should have been. Most meteorologists agree with that, and they're trying to change the EF scale again because of it.

Will Tulsa experience an EF3 on May 8th, 2026?

Only time will tell, and by then, even if it does happen, who's going to remember this?

Tornado Records from Around the Country

With tornadoes on our minds the last few days, I started to wonder about many of the tornado records. How many in one day, biggest outbreak, strongest tornado in history, etc... While we all feel Oklahoma is the home of terrible tornadoes, the stats are somewhat surprising.

They're also some of the most awe-inspiring things to see in person. While they don't cost nearly as much as hurricanes and wildfires, they do get expensive in greatly localized areas. Here are the most expensive in US history.

Odd and Unbelievable Tornado Facts

As far as we've come in the technology surrounding severe weather and tornadoes, there's still a massive amount science still doesn't understand. Yes, there is a generally agreed idea of how they begin, the conditions needed, and the usual atmospheric conditions, but twisters are still wildly unpredictable. Even more fascinating are the strange and almost terrifying facts about these powerful displays of nature.
