That Sulphur tornado formed right over the town. There wouldn't have been a whole lot of verified lead time on it for those folks. That's the nightmare scenario, a nocturnal violent tornado hitting a town.

Another complication was what was going on back in the Norman/OKC area with the coverage of the whack-a-mole spin ups that part of the line was producing. You really have to have a good accounting of your priorities in a situation like that. The large metro area had tornadoes, but they weren't at all life threatening. At the same time you had small towns under threat of potentially violent tornadoes. It is almost a lose/lose situation for an on-air met.
