[TornadoFan]

Looks like a big debris ball on reflectivity.

Debris to over 13K feet.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Dangerous night with the supercells not really getting cranking until after dark (as was always a strong possibility given the model solutions). Not too sorry I wasn't able to chase this one despite passing through Oklahoma and Kansas just yesterday. I think the temptation to call "bust" in part stems from most chasers/enthusiasts envision these storms producing long-track, photogenic tornado families starting around 21Z and lasting through 00Z, when they can be seen. Unfortunately for both chasers and public safety, that's not always how these things work.
