Spotters report rotation is weakening, structure not as well defined. Could be cycling though. Power flashes have ended.

I'm watching Gary and all the other various channels now. That cell is the same on that came through here in Norman around 1hr 30min ago. Had a nice wall cloud w/rotation then as it moves through e-ern Norman. Guess we're fortunate here that it didn't drop then b/c it was very eerie looking.

The tornado warning has been cancelled. The storm has rapidly weakened. Still working on damage reports, but so far nothing more than tree/power line damage fortunately. About 1000 people without power.

One news station is attempting to get some pics/vids of the tornado that a storm tracker was able to take. Hopefully they'll have that up soon. It'll be interesting to see if anything fires up again tonight since the dryline is still to our west.
