SouthernNJ Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Likely offices are in their shelters and the backups are filling in the info now. They may have their hands full as there are quickly developing supercells to the west and north of Altus OK, in addition to the Norman tornado.

Memphis Weather Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 It's RFD'd out now.. That's what appeared to be happening just prior to Norman...but it wrapped up at the end and at the wrong. Just have to see what kind of damage there. So far nothing really concrete coming out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 The second storm approaching Chickasha may head on a similar path as the first, which could present additional problems for the emergency crews in Norman. They say it's 110 minutes away from Norman still so there's some time. Cell that just went through Norman is strengthening again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowahawkeyedave Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 In the near term storm to watch for by Anadarko looks like it might also head towards Norman. In the longer term the storm out by Altus could present a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memphis Weather Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Think the still lacking low-level winds may have saved Norman from a real disaster...the deviant motion clearly helped take advantage of what shear was there. Could have been much worse though if it was a few hours later after the LLJ had ramped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
