Hmmmmm...

Looks like another attempt coming north of Slaughterville. Hard to see much on velocity but the reflectivity structure looks much "cleaner" all of a sudden.

Obviously you can still have tornadoes when the rest of the rain is right in front of the mesocyclone, but I think this cell is starting to get a more classic look again, with the core of the rain shifting more to the north and out from the front of the circulation's path. I don't know the proper meteorological terms for it (am I thinking of the FFD? I don't know), but I hope what I'm saying makes some sense, lol

The Slaughterville storm looks really suspicious again.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Close shave for Strong City, KS but I think it passed just to the west of the core of town. TDS is there, so it hit something out there.

 

[TornadoFan]

It's wrapping up again.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Uh oh...

It's so close to the radar, CC is really cluttered.

 

[WhirlingWx]

Possibly another big one coming W of Etowah, OK...

 

[WhirlingWx]

Spotter report 4 miles east of Slaughterville for a large tornado with power flashes

 

[TornadoFan]

Looks like it could be a wedge.

Might have twins in Kansas

 

[WhirlingWx]

So much lightning on the stream, difficult to fully discern the tornado's structure but clearly an intense storm.

Did the hook echo completely detach from its parent storm east of slaughtersville?

 

[WhirlingWx]

Might have twins in Kansas

Good catch. Two circulations

Sidney, IA

 

[ColdFront]

Weak hook over Norman

 

[Muwx]

Debris ball in Oklahoma? Hard to tell on CC but reflectively looks suspect.

 

[Equus]

Debris ball just exploded w the tornado at Etowah

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Heavens to Mergatroyd.

 

[TornadoFan]

Debris ball on reflectivity.
