That tornado has been on the ground for approaching a half hour now and has covered less than three miles of ground.

Can you imagine riding out an F3+ tornado for ~20 mins?

I guess it’s what people experience during a cat5 hurricane.

That's what you could see on Reflectivity with the weak spot.

I had some stuff to do after working late anyways so I just got out of the shower and sat in the recliner, rewound Ryan halls stream (I think it's his, he's not actually on it) to basically the beginning to see it as it happened and cracked open a beer before bed

That's interesting, because if it did heavy damage to that area it would have been before the RFD burst that ramped it up farther East. That would have also been nearly right on top of the radar site. The fact it didn't take damage would be remarkable.

Thinking about it, though, it is possible it could have sustained some damage and that damage could have played into the funkiness that was going on with Velocity later on. Just spitballing.

ETA: I'm not talking about the characteristics of the storm itself and the tornadoes it produced being an issue, but the problems with Velocity when that first tornado was at its strongest.

Has been interesting to observe especially in light of a few days ago when the spin ups were typical and expected. This has been anything but that

Still cannot believe what happened in southern Oklahoma last night. We likely experienced one of the most powerful tornadoes ever. It wasn’t really expected, which makes it even more intriguing. This storm showcased tornadic characteristics nearly 18,000 feet into the upper levels of the atmosphere. This is an indication of a very, very strong tornado. By the grace of God, it appears this tornado didn’t really hit anything. It occurred in open landscape with little population nearby. This could’ve been a major disaster and extremely deadly to population centers. Due to the lack of appreciable damage (thank God) this tornado will likely go down in lore with some mystery behind it.

Also this guy said that there may be a few missed & he was going to possibly post a new one with some new info

Great.

I was going to get up at 3:30 this morning to catch bait and fish Lake Texoma. A bad storm hit at 2 am and lasted for several hours and then another storm at around 8 am. Obviously I didn't go fishing.

And supposed to get hammered over night again. Maybe I'll finally be able to fish on Friday. The striped bass on Texoma are on fire but the weather won't cooperate.
