The Dude Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 This El Rino cell, is that the Kingfisher storm? No. There appear to be two separate areas of rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Ugh... has tightened up quite a bit on I-40 west of El Reno. Wrapped in rain... ugly looking trajectory as well. Seems like the supercell has ingested the southern cell as well as this is going to have a clean feed of rich theta-e air to the south to draw off of as it heads toward OKC.

Stebo Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I hope no one is on that freeway, it is going to be going right down I-40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Once that relatively broad rotation begins to tighten it certainly looks like it could go big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tornadotony Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 A lot of people died at the Calumet exit on I-40 during the El Reno EF5 in 2011. I really hope we're not about to have a repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
