It looks to have lifted just before getting into Okemah.

I think the one near Okemah has lifted, which leaves the storm approaching Dickson as the only confirmed tornado right now. It is just barely close enough to a radar to tell it is on the ground.

It says something for the environment today/tonight that although none of these storms have really had anything close to a classic look they've still gotten the job done.

That tornado heading towards Dickson has one of the biggest debris balls I've seen. Crazy

You'll have to ask one of the Okies on that one

I hope Dickson does ok through this. Not much in that little town but there's a gas station on the south side of the highway that used to serve damn good burgers. I haven't been there in a few years but good people between there and Mannsville.
We occasionally go with friends to the ATV off road park there.

They didn't call it a deadly tornado in the warning, which we've seen done before, so hopefully that doesn't mean it has caused a fatality.
Posted on 4/27/24 at 11:45 pm to LegendInMyMind
Glad I’m still awake.

The bad news is that they have another one right behind this one that could put one down. It is on the tail end of that line.
