Severe WX May 2019 Plains Severe Event

Yeah pretty much any and all severe weather data sources are kinda getting piled on right now I'd wager
 
Large tornado on the ground near Crescent. Might be two separate funnels.

2 large mesos with debris on the ground on KFOR.
 
The rotation on the crescent cell is continuing to intensify on radar, especially the northerlies. If this fully condenses and you start getting stronger vorticies this could get really violent. Also, there's still two different circulations.
 
Agree on the Childress storm but what happens once it crosses into OK into an apparently still moderate-to-strong capped environment?
 
Dan Robinson makes a helpful observation re the capping for what was/is progged as the most explosive area for dangerous tornado development (SW OK):

"Special soundings by the NWS and the COD teams are showing a significantly stouter capping inversion below 700mb than forecast, which is quite possibly the biggest enhancing factor development we've seen today. All of the possible failure modes of this event have vanished, and enhancing factors like more clearing (at least filtered sunlight in most areas) and now a stronger cap have really put this event into a top-level setup in terms of the environment."
