I have to admit, they had amazing coverage, especially for a small town station.


The tornado was further than 10-15mi. It would have been better to say near Mexico, Missouri.

Well, 15 miles north isn't even in the same county - but, yes, the radar would say that there would have had to have been a tornado on the ground at that point, the hook was very nice.

I think we're through around Tulsa!

While the radar view itself shows max cloud tops around 37.5kft, the radar product itself has a max height of 64kft (strong updraft?), and the cell approaching the border is exploding, as are two other cells, one about 20 NW of Tulsa and one due east of OKC. Development is finally occuring, but will become better if these storms slow down a little.

Something's finally happening in Oklahoma with the next line...I had almost forgotten about it tracking the tornadoes through Missouri (entering Illinois shortly, looking for coverage there).

I think it will be a long night!

Radar already indicating mesos with the 2 southernmost storms in OK - that didn't take long.
