Looks like another one is forming ahead of it.

HUGE tornado...still very big on the live stream I shared too.

While it is an extremely rural area, Google Maps does show some farms peppered across the countryside north of Morton. Hopefully it's just power lines and/or pieces of pole barns that they saw, and not farmhouses.

Footage of the damaging Chesnee tornado earlier.



Also some more cool footage of the Morton tornado.

Easily the best wedge visualIy in last three years. Twin tornados at the same time.

In a 2%, severe thunderstorm watch.

Excerpt from the 5/20/2019 1300 UTC Day 1 outlook (bolded mine). Only time I saw them explicitly mention potential tornado size in a convective outlook. Just 3 years and 3 days late, that's all:

...a few of the
best-organized supercells may reach an equilibrium with their
already very favorable mesoscale environments long enough to sustain
wide, long-track tornadoes...

Some really amazing footages already.

I certainly wouldn't be surprised if this gigantic wedge tornado reached EF5 intensity even though it won't be rated as such. However it is also possible it may have been just a gigantic weak tornado.

Based on the motion, it doesn’t look to be too strong but this is definitely the “tornado of the year.”

Okay ignore what I just said this thing looks extremely violent go to 5:30 and the motion is absolutely insane

 

[Brice Wood]

Last time I can remember a wedge tornado being able to be that visible would probably be tescott back in 2018 or the sulphur wedge in 2016.

Yeah I'm not an expert on photogrammetry but that definitely passes the eye test in terms of violent motion. Thankfully we didn't end up finding out what it was capable of.

Any live chasers on this cell near Crosbyton, TX? It’s almost certainly producing a tornado.

 

[buckeye05]

Another one near Garden City, TX

Found a chaser on the Garden City cell

Also, I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned how the Morton tornado yesterday looked almost identical to the F5 at the end of Twister. Almost uncanny!

Yeah it did, but this one was wider.
