Multiple funnels just west of Stillwater city limits according to KFOR storm spotter.

Large developing twisting funnels and another lowering behind those.

Stillwater area, I hope you are taking tornado precautions.

KFOR TV met says radar circulation is six miles due west of Oklahoma State and is moving due east.

THIS IS VERY SERIOUS!

Intense low level circulation on radar.

Storm spotter says large debris cloud was on the ground for 45 seconds west of Stillwater and three brief touchdowns, gone now, but still extremely dangerous situation.

If this has or puts a tornado on the ground, it is tracking almost due east on Hwy. 51.

That would take it right through the heart of Stillwater...

I agree that this may be very serious for Stillwater. If that touches down, it goes right through an urbanized area.

Also a rotating wall cloud in south OKC.

I would think there should be a Tornado Emergency for Stillwater.

Last check, there wasn't.

I may have to leave the thread for a bit, it's so hard to resist the urge to make oklahoma state jokes :oops:

The follow-up storm behind the one approaching Stillwater is looking improved now, as well.

Large wall cloud lowering over Stillwater.

Wouldn't be a tornado emergency as it is not on the ground.

KFOR says it is highly likely a tornado on the ground in Stillwater behind him. Said he had debris falling on him (leaves, limbs, etc.) a moment or two ago.

If that is the case, then a Tornado Emergency is warranted.

Don't know how trustworthy this is, but a Tweeter on KFOR.com says he is in Stillwater and he is witnessing a 1/2 mile wide tornado causing major damage on the northern side of Stillwater.

Lots and lots of crap to filter through on Tweets, but it seems to jive with everything else being reported.

KWTV has only reported power flashes in Stillwater so far.
