Superstorm93 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 This circulation is as bad as the El Reno one in 2011 maybe even worse, the inflow into this thing is off the charts, way over 200 miles per hour.

Ground Scouring Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Unfortunately, this may cycle in time to produce another strong tornado before entering OKC. That could explain the NE movement on recent scans...like that of the Greensburg cell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Glad Bettes and crew are okay. Looks like it must have had some sort of fujiwara interaction with the RFD or something, as the tornado now looks to be moving just north of due east, as opposed to east-southeast a bit ago. Now looks to be threatening the north half of OKC again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
