SmokeEater Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Absolutely vicious rotation in the cell just south of Lockett TX, hope it's not a populated area. Very, very large tornado on that, personally know a chaser on it. Just lost visual. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vman722 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Looks to be possibly occluding and taking a turn north. They need to get Lockett in that polygon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mob1 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 That monster cell took a bit of a north turn so the NWS is spreading out 3 seperate warnings in all directions. Probably smart given what some of the Oklahoma tornadoes have done today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the more southerly polygons are going to get canceled soon, but the storm motion is very erratic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSWx Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 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.

Witness Protection Program Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Storm chaser tour van at night? Zero sympathy for Darwin Tours, those disaster wankers are just making more completely unnecessary work and distraction for emergency responders. These are very low population, spread out areas. Not a huge amount of emergency resources to begin with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to understand the mentality of a tour company chasing a storm this violent and erratic at night. Praying they are okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
