The radar presentation on that cell has been just jaw dropping. 

Almost looks like an eye-like feature in the middle of that debris ball. Gotta be a very, very large tornado. Thankfully where it's at is 100% rural and almost exclusively ranch land and some farm fields with very widely spaced farmsteads.

The storm motion suggested by the newest tornado warning polygon is concerning, because it suggests that the tornado could try to move towards Vernon:

Lotta chasers stationed up there rn

Just heard a bunch of chasers confirm this on Ryan Hall’s YouTube stream. Motion looks very northerly the last few scans. 

Wow.  We have 4 warning polygons now, with Vernon now included in the newest (northernmost) polygon.

I suspect the more southerly polygons are going to get canceled soon, but the storm motion is very erratic.

The tornado seems to be moving due north right now, but we really don’t want to get a right turn that would bring it into Vernon.

It looks like another area of inflow may be forming east of the warned tornado; radar showing a TVS as well.

 

This storm motion is an absolute nightmare, I hope chasers weren't trying to zero meter this one. Reminds me too much of El Reno and is putting a pit in my stomach.
