Keep an eye on the weather tomorrow...

Reading through some of my chasing sites and at looking at some of the projected maps for tomorrow... it's looking like a lot of the same ingredients will be coming together like the historic May third outbreak. Strong and long track tornados are expected....

I'm taking off tomorrow afternoon and going chasing!

I need to find a garage asap..

Why?! OKC never gets tornadoes! :)

I actually can't believe the buzz about tomorrow. Right now we're still under a "moderate risk"... but I'm betting tomorrow it will be bumped up to "High" which is rare.

Batteries charging...

I'm Safety Manager at work, responsible for all the peeps upstairs and their lives, so I watch closely at the weather.

Moved to High...

Thank you, Prognosticator Paul

Do you get to wear a special hat?

I do, have you been peeking? I carry the manual around and tell everyone what to do, I also get to fix the boo boo's when someone hurts themselves.

Great... Just great baseball size hail

Really? where did you hear that?

Save the gas,nothing gona happen.High tech weather equipment is over rated.

Yeah, Paul, listen to Tony, he's been on this planet longer than Moses.

Tornado safe room ftw! :)

Just got back... What a day! We shot over to Guthrie and watched the initial line build. Then shot north and caught up with the tornadic cell in outside of Billings between Enid and Ponca City. Caught some tape of a few massive funnels. We were about a 1/4 mile away and the inflow was incredible. Guessing around 60-70 mph. Also, saw where the tornado crossed the road. FedEx truck blown over and baseball + size hail that absolutely destroyed some cars.

There were dozens of chasers out today! I'll post pics later...

bad ass!!!!!!!!!!

This was near Billings Ok. This was about 20-30mins after the hail fell and it's
still that big. It was baseball + in size. Several cars were pummeled.
This one left a crater about 3 - 3 1/2 inches deep.



One of the cars that got nailed. There were others that were just totaled.




Funnel cloud trying to form...

Have to load more...

Heck yeah! I love chasing storms

Looks Awesome Paul! Thanks for the heads up yesterday, I parked my car in my buddies garage here on campus.

Norman was under a few different warnings as we had to take cover a few times.

Ya.... The OKC area got nailed! Glad all is ok. What about the other OKC area peps? Sandy? Anyone talk to her?

More pics...


Intercepted!






Funnel 1....





Funnel 2...










Getting updates...





That hit hard... It was about 3 inches or so in the ground.





One of the many chasers..



Brief touchdown..

wow nice pics

Paul has big balls for going out there.

I'm here, present and accounted for I got checked on about 6:30

Good to hear! How close did they get?

One south of me about 3 miles, one east of me about 5 miles, one north of me about 10 miles. the east and south were headed for me, but the seemed to turn off easterly.

I did get the hail (marble sized) and the quiet, was creepy.

How is this????? I've seen plenty, but... that's probablly because my family is a bunch of typical okies who will stand on their porch and watch a funnel plop down, right down the street.... And continue to watch.

I let everyone know next time I go. I you wanna come awesome. Just be prepare for a lot of driving and a long day. :)
