The tornado outbreak that was forecast for Oklahoma and vicinity did in fact happen - but the 2 dozen reported tornadoes were mostly weak, short-lived events that happened over open range.
A few towns did manage to get a little damage from the storms and there were some power outages, but all in all, it wasn't nearly as bad as the outbreak a few weeks ago.
Here is a map of the storm reports from Wednesday.
If you look on the map above you will notice a tornado report from eastern Washington state. There was a reported tornado touchdown near Moses Lake on Wednesday afternoon. One resident saw it up close.
