~Five tornadoes for Tommy Winning and me -- just an absolutely amazing day. About all the speech center of my brain is capable of putting together at this point is "....wow." I'll post a few thumbnails until we watermark the big versions; we also shot our best video ever - by far. Considering we were unable to chase the past two days, Tommy and I are probably the happiest guys in Norman right now.

Sam, you continue to amaze us again.

THANKS!

I will continue to post more photos as we go through them; the full write-up, including video, should be done by mid week.

Wicked vault region.


Tornado #2


Marshall Wedge just touching down to our immediate north.


EDIT: to move watermark on pic three.

Wide-angle of our first tornado of the day, which was approaching Bison at the time of the photo.


Ground-scraping mesocyclone between tornadoes.


Wide angle of tornado two (close shot above).


The southern of the two simultaneous tornadoes.


Wider shot.


Insane meso about a minute prior to producing a tornado; we experienced a ~5F temp rise as the RFD started to cut in.


Three minutes later.


The northern of the two simultaneous tornadoes.

Outstanding work, dude !

Would you take me for a ride next year ?

Thanks! If you're able to make it across the pond, it would be my pleasure -- we are mostly Oklahoma chasers, though, so mid-may is usually about the cut-off.

Sam, thats some great pictures you have. Nice one.

Done deal - maybe NBA happens in OKC next year - so synergy effects are possible

Wow!!
