What happened
The episode as NWS TSA wrote it up.
Summary for August 8 1998:A line of elevated light rain showers slowly moved east across northeast Oklahoma during the day on August 8. As these showers moved east of Tulsa during the heat of the day, an isolated severe thunderstorm developed and moved across southern Wagoner County, producing strong winds and hail as large as quarters. As the storm was in its developing stages over southern Tulsa County, there was a report of winds to 55 miles an hour at Bixby. Other showers and thunderstorms developed over southeast Oklahoma as a pool of cold air aloft destabilized the atmosphere, but these other storms remained below severe levels.
