Normally I'd have a great shot of geolocating damage. But this is so unbelievably thoroughly destroyed that I genuinely don't have a clue where to even start looking.

Not going to make a declarative statement because I’d like to see aerials and wider angle shots, but that looks like true grass scouring there.

Screenshot from KOCO 5. Note where Damon Lane is pointing. He said it was impacting homes at the time...

Reminds me of Moore 2013 in a way. Not saying it is....Screenshot from KOCO 5. Note where Damon Lane is pointing. He said it was impacting homes at the time...

That's at least EF4 damage for sure.
Dang what did I miss??? I stepped away and was busy for 3 hours and come back to a gnarly looking tornado

The original supercell in northern Oklahoma might be trying again.

2013 Moore tornado was bigger in size, at least in terms of the footage we've seen of Enid so far.

The KOCO stream is gonna go down as a horrifying historical classic, no doubt. Hoping that final stalling series of loops was over totally empty fields
Definitely the type of tornado you’d see back in the early 2010s.
Daniel Shaw did have it as a barrel, however I would compare it more to Goldsby tbh.

Couldn't agree more with @Equus. Watching that KOCO footage genuinely made me feel like I was watching that coverage of Bridge Creek all the way back in 1999. Even had the same traits such as a close range debris laden shot. I was genuinely speechless at that moment. That was the high end tornado Oklahoma hasn't seen for a WHILE.

Garfield County is under the gun again, likely TOG near Covington.
Yikes. That already looks like solid EF3 damage and there are reports of worse coming out of chaser streams. We'll have to see what it looks like in the morning but I wouldn't be surprised if this one ends up with an EF4 rating.
