I'm out of position on this Tornado Warned storm. A tornado occurred about 15 minutes ago. The storm is 25 miles east of me and I have no chance to catch it as it's moving away from me. Typical of the early season, the storm is extensively sheared. |
But I drive toward the storm anyway and come across the hail covered ground. Lots of smallish hail makes for icy driving! |

Looks more impressive that it is... I'm on Interstate 40 at exit 270 looking north at weak rotation. A tornado warning is in effect for this storm. Surface inflow is weak and the storm is outflow dominate. |
Here's a pseudo- wall cloud between Checotah and Warner. Again the storm looks scarier than it is. |

Not bad for my first chase of 2005! |
I took this photo from Highway 62 west of Okemah. I found a few hailstones larger than 1 inch. |
After a quick live TV report in Henryetta, I snapped a picture of the storm. It's about 30 miles north of me. The anvil is near peak height. The storm then weakened as it moved into cooler air near Tulsa. |
March 21, 2005 NE Oklahoma: Some Hail, Some Tornado Warnings |
The first severe weather outbreak of 2005 provided a few small tornadoes in Oklahoma and hail. I provided live reports and video for TV. The storms were hard to chase, typical early season fast movers. |
