Still on the ground!

TORE dropped, now down to "Considerable" PDS warning.

This thing may try to recycle to the east of Waukomis

 

[WeathermanLeprechaun]

Tornado continues to persist and be significant-intense. May restrengthen again here

 

[TornadoFan]

Looks like it's intensifying on radar again. Still a very large pipe.

"mass casualty" incident declared south of enid per the Garfield County scanners. Hope for the best, guys.

Geez, if today was just a taster, not looking forward to seeing what the rest of the month will bring...

I legit don’t have any words. That was without a doubt one of the most violent tornadoes i’ve seen happen live in quite some time. Really worried seeing the damage reports coming in.

Enid tornado is roping out luckily. We already have reports of houses flattened with people trapped, but honestly I was worried it was going to be a VLT with the number of times it weakened then recycled.

 

[TornadoFan]

Tornado roped out.

 

[eep]

Finally lifted, but the dryline cells still look super primed.

I always thought today was getting overlooked. We got insanely lucky the cap didn’t break in SW and Central Oklahoma

That's pretty standard after a severe tornado hits a town, just so the hospitals, etc have the most amount of resources as possible. Does not indicate that there's numerous fatalies or injuries.

Multiple day time sig tors in OK, the fist cell producing a wedge/satellite interaction, the Enid cell producing a very unfortunate likely violent tornado that scoured the ground and leveled homes.
DOW deployment, News channel 9 and Koco getting perfect live views of the events.
Had a feeling since a couple of days ago that today was the first real potential OK tornado outbreak since May 2024, but it seems we may have exceeded even that.
Thankfully the forcing was too weak to initiate convection in the southern portion or we would’ve had an even more extensive outbreak.
Honestly watching the live streams and looking at radar felt like it was 2013/2014 again. Hopefully no one was killed during that god awful Enid tornado.

That area is starting to hook around. It seems.

Saw several large buildings picked up in one piece and then hurled. That was very powerful.

No, im aware of this. Just saying to hope for the best that it isn't anything extreme. The only saving grace was this didn't track through any major population vicinities but there was a few homes and one subdivision hit.

 

[Ozonelayer]

Its likely, based off of CC data that it utterly cored this area.



Also pretty likely it hit these homesteads, or atleast some.

 

[eep]

I will also note that there is a loner southwest of OKC, may not do anything but we'll see.
