Severe Weather Threat May 17-19, 2025

Got in late last night and before going to bed loaded the 4K camcorder video from Sunday at Arnett onto my computer.

These are just some raw frame snaps. The timelapse from the GoPro clipped to my side window is gonna be unreal. It caught nearly the entire life cycle from birth until it moved offscreen (just a minute or two before roping out), with the spectacular storm structure above.

When I posted them on Stormtrack I said "This is my Rozel." Then I realized it was 12 years later to the same date!

Shot of the Arnett OK tornado off my camera, what a chase this was.

You guys didn't happen to run into Pecos Hank did you?

 
I've got 5 separate EF3 tracks on DAT from the supercell that started south of Greensburg and ended north of Plevna. Likely two cells involved since there was a prominent cell merger, but that is a hell of a prolific storm.

The craziest part was how similar it was to the 2007 supercell. Just kept on cycling and producing monster wedge after another.

Quite the tornado family this supercell produced, looking at DAT, it’s pretty much like the tornado tracks from the Greensburg Cell from 2007 but with a far more northeast general storm motion.

All very well could’ve been violent tornadoes.

Oh, my goodness. I didn't realize the storm was actively producing when I was on it a little northeast of Cullison. I think I was along NW 10th Street, and turned right on NW 60th Ave. to go back to 54/400 and Pratt. The reflectivity and velocity signatures were suspect but not as clear-cut as they were back west of Haviland and again from northeast of Iuka to Plevna. Glad I didn't try to get any closer than I did. The inflow was howling and the intracloud "flashbulb" lightning and anvil crawlers were insane (check out the last part of my video if you haven't already).

I’m really curious to find out how wide some of these monsters were. The Plevna one looked to have been approaching 2 miles wide at times.
 
Something really cool is that Dodge City has been using tree damage to rate a lot of the Greensburg-Plevna tor family. Probably has kept them from being merely EF2/1 rated. You can actually see this on the DAT.
