The storm SE of Wichita Falls means business right now, just insane rotation on that cell.  Haven't been posting, been glued to the TV, CNN is all over it as well as the Weather Channel.  The reporter from News 9 on the computer feed just said they were there after May 3, 1999 and this is way worse also said that the damage seems to be a little more widespread than 1999 which seems hard to believe.  One way or another, just horrific video, looks like a war zone.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0732
   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
   0534 PM CDT MON MAY 20 2013
  
   AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF THE TX/OK RED RIVER VALLEY
  
   CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 191...192...
  
   VALID 202234Z - 202330Z
  
   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 191...192...CONTINUES.
  
   SUMMARY...THE ENVIRONMENT FOR LONG-LIVED SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF A
   STRONG TORNADO OR TWO APPEAR TO BE MAXIMIZING NEAR THE RED RIVER
   OVER THE NEXT 1-2 HRS.
  
   DISCUSSION...22Z SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS PRESSURE FALLS MAXIMIZING
   OVER N-CNTRL TX TO THE E OF THE DRYLINE AND TEMP/DEWPOINT SPREADS
   ARE BEGINNING TO LOWER IN THE 10-15 DEG RANGE...SIGNIFYING HIGHER
   BOUNDARY LAYER RH AND LOWER LCLS.  ADDITIONALLY...SURFACE WINDS ARE
   BEGINNING TO BACK SLIGHTLY FROM THE S TO SSE.  ALTHOUGH THE 18Z FWD
   RAOB SHOWED AN INVERSION LAYER AROUND H85...THE INFLUENCE OF THIS
   FEATURE WILL PROBABLY BE LESSENED THROUGH FORCED STORM-SCALE ASCENT.
    BECAUSE OF THE VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS IN PLACE AND THE FORECAST
   INCREASE IN H85 FLOW /INCREASING LOW LEVEL SHEAR/...THE TORNADO
   THREAT APPEARS TO BE INCREASING.  IF THE KFWS VWP OBSERVATIONS SHOW
   A SIMILAR INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL SHEAR OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR SO AS
   THE VARIOUS RAP FORECAST SOUNDINGS...A STRONG TORNADO OR TWO IS
   POSSIBLE IN ADDITION TO LARGE HAIL AND DMGG WINDS.
