I'l be posting updates as best I can in here regarding Tornadoes. Since the other thread was "first twisters" I figure we're in the 2nd half of the year now.

Lets start with today..

Check out this 3D capture of a cell in Oklahoma right now. Within 30 minutes time it went from a cloud forming and billowing to a monster cell.

Another outbreak anticipated.

Sometimes you have to wonder the thought process issuing these maps.

10% chance of Tornado only?
At least they have 45% chance of hail. Great way to prepare people SPC.

Mike Bettes of TWC got hit with a Tornado. They got caught. His truck was tossed 200 yards. Lots of damage out there!
He is bleeding but ok.

KFOR: 1,000 people evacuated into a tunnel under Will Rogers Airport as tornado nears

I appreciate your input here Cambium, I DO!! I'm streaming one of the OKC stations online, and have been flip flopping between Fox, CNN, and the Weather Channel. The width of this thing just astounds me! One of the tornadoes is coming right at Tinker Air Force Base. Another went through the I-44- I-35-I-40 interchange a half hour ago. Sadly, it is a somewhat chaotic scene. the reporters are saying that there is so much rain coming down that some of the traffic on the interstates are a parking lot. They can't see where they are going-period. wall clouds are on three sides of the tornado. On the Oklahoma weather thread, one of the posters said one of the tornadoes is angling SOUTH!

As I'm watching the tube now, it is really dark.

The storm people called it right. They said this afternoon was trouble. It is. Sadly.
