Next round of severe weather 7th May Onwards?

[Texas Snowman]

It's just heartbreaking to hear of people losing their lives. It's still early, so I'm concerned that this might only be the beginning of some ongoing awful news.

Several members of my family live within about 5 miles both north and south in between tornados that tracked across Moore and Norman. There is some incredible chaser video at this link.

The south Norman tornado, likely the one that also struck Tecumseh, was a certifiable monster, almost assuredly at least an EF-4.

So sad.

Agreed, that may well be an EF-4...

My neighborhood got hit directly by a tornado that went through south east Oklahoma City. I will post pictures soon.

Definite hook developing in the storm just north of Gainesville, Texas.

KXII-TV storm spotter Doug Grace reported a suspicious lowering a few minutes ago with that storm about five miles west of I-35 near Thackerville, Okla.

There's also something nearby Abilente, Texas that seems to try and pop up.

Lone Grove got hit AGAIN it appears.

That storm in particular looks like it could get very dangerous as it gets farther into the area of greatest instability.

Lone Grove got hit AGAIN it appears.

I know there was a home or two in Carter County that were hit, but that's the first I've heard that Lone Grove was actually hit.

Where did you see/hear that report?

As the suns sets here in Decatur/Bridgeport sounds of thunder echo the atmosphere as a wall cloud sits to our north. No tornado I can see, FROM HERE.. But an ominous wall cloud with rapid lightning is still very impressive.

I take that back, now the sun has completely set and it is very dark and windy, everytime lightning strikes to the north, it reviels a lowering funnel cloud, still no touchdown but it does look more defined than earlier.

[CrazyC83]

My guess for ratings:

Moore-Choctaw: EF3

Norman-Tecumseh-Seminole: EF4

Thanks for posting those BlueIce. As bad as it looks, I think you folks just dodged a bullet. Hope everyone is OK.

Here are photos from my neighborhood.

That Knollwood storm has weakened below severe limits. But two cells northeast of there both give strong evidence of being tornadic, and running along the Red River.

One sad thing: they might have to do that all over again on Wednesday.

Yep... just had another near miss at my home in northern Grayson County. Severe storm passed through the Sherman/Denison area in the last half-hour and it produced another tornado warning.

Storm spotters reported a wall cloud, intense rotation, and a lowering at Knollwood just north of Sherman and then a funnel cloud that was half-way to the ground east of Sherman.

First time I've actually had to herd my family into our safety closet this spring...

[Texas Snowman]

One curious thing: the Pottowatomie Emergency Mgt. Director (I believe that was his title) was on one of our local TV stations a half-hour or so ago (KTEN-TV) and he disputed the report of three dead in his county...

EDIT: So there may only be two fatalities thus far in Oklahoma. I guess time will tell...

EDIT II: Found this on CNN.com. I believe Cleveland County is just west of Pottawatomie County, so that may be where the confusion resulted from: "Three people died in Cleveland County, just west of Tecumseh, said Albert Ashwood, director of the state emergency management department, and another was reported dead near Choctaw, east of Oklahoma City."
