Nice footage.
Post-analysis and the message here is 'never underestimate the power of a decent OFB'.
HRRR was spot-on when late in the day it picked-up on discrete cells down the I35 triggered in lieu of the DL but given some local helicity (significant in the case of the Pauls Valley cell) by an OFB that popped-up a few hours before initiation.
Nice job on the hunch - I'd be nearer the AR line wondering what the hell happened!

I think that this was one of the best net weather virtual chases from here as well - though sadly marred by the loss of life.

I would have loved to be out there and well done to Paul for the I35 hunch. Was watching the NW feed, the other storm chase feeds, the local TV output and on radarscope and followed the storm from its echo tops inception to the original messy non organised cell. This looked like the storms further north for a while but once it started to organise and root down then a couplet appeared within 2-3 mins and a tornado soon after - It was probably the short time taken between the start of rotation to a strong tornado that was responsible for the lack of warning and casualty count.

Great positioning on this one, best ever I think.

Yep, absolutely incredible footage.  Well done to the team.  For a moment I thought the second vid that Nick posted was sped up. That vorticity is insane!  Don't think I've seen footage like that before.  Shame I couldn't follow the chase (PC problems).

loving these pic and it's looks like chicken george is having fun too.

Are you doing any of your video briefings tom? - enjoyed watching them last year and hearing where you are heading to next (morning storm optional!)

Green with envy. Another mighty frustrating day for Trevor and I, pretty pathetic storms for much of the day up in S Kansas/N Oklahoma. It was a very difficult to call regarding which area to go for, we decided the SE OK risk was erring too much into jungle territory, although that of course was proven wrong. However, we did get brief supercells by evening with reasonably frequent lightning and large marble hail, was fun being under a petrol station roof for that.

Hank Schyma reckons it was the most violent tornado he's ever seen (including El Reno), though, obviously, it was quite a bit smaller.

Sorry Dami yes we did one briefing but time has not totally allowed us to do them      as my school report said ' Must try harder.'
