There is a hook on the SW edge which is the second tornado. The main tornado has sort of jogged northward into the main body of the storm. THAT tornado is the stronger one and has the majority of the shear (according to Intellicast). You can see this on the NWS radar loop. The greatest intensity is now in the center of the storm.

Gary England is the best! The work he did during the May 1999 tornado saved countless lives.

They are showing the storm moving into the Tulsa area now on radar!

wow..It's a very strong storm there...I can't believe how long the storm in that state is lasting!

[Conservababe]

Thanks for your prayers.

Jackson really got it bad in that their whole police and fire department in one building was destroyed in the first funnel. But, they did a great job and still maintained communications after moving to a different building.

[yukong]

Now reporting that 60-70 planes destroyed at Wiley Post Airport. Largest general aviation airport in Oklahoma.

[PhiKapMom]

Can you imagine the back-up on I-35? Don't know where they would reroute them either as Broadway extension is also shut down and so is north Sooner road.

[kcvl]

OMG!

[PhiKapMom]

Our local weather people who have been doing this for years cannot believe how long this storm has been on the ground either. Highly unusual!

[kcvl]

[I'm ALL Right!]

wow.
