They don’t pull the trigger easily on tornado warnings at NWS Norman/OKC. I would have slapped a radar indicates warning on the cell near Meridian just in case, but the velocity is still very broad.

If you don't have a shelter, wtf do you even do in that situation?
Try to get to a sturdy structure if at all possible, putting as many walls as you can between you and the outside.

Storms coming from SW of OKC

seem to remember hearing a news story a couple years ago about towns here in Kansas having outdated tornado warning systems. Would imagine a place like barnsdale could have the same issue.

Damn that’s bad. Seems consistent with ef3ish in that photo. Guess it depends on if that house in the background is off of its foundation and how well built it was.

Had a setup like that at a small town here in MO, tornado went between them and the siren

Yea that doesn’t surprise me. Seems something like that would be a better use of federal dollars to make sure these small broke towns can fix instead of shipping off billions to other countries…
But I digress…

in the Reed Timmer chat, there are some saying 250 mph reported at airport near Bartlesville.. that’s a strong F4 if it’s verified.. stay safe out there
I doubt this very seriously. In fact, I'm just gonna outright call bullshite. The tornadic part of the storm missed the airport, and the publicly accessible weather station at the airport recorded a 45mph max gust, and it is still reporting as of 10:40pm.
The other station near Bartlesville would have been closer to the tornado, and it recorded a max gust of 53mph and is still reporting as of 10:45pm.

We’re really hoping this doesn’t produce a tornado in the metro.
Sometimes I wonder if there is any actual truth behind this from the click-baity Twitter folks.

People in these storm chaser, Ryan Hall, etc chats say some really dumb stuff

That’s what I was thinking for Hurricane Laura the LCH radar got knocked off after 130 mph and I think and their setup could take more of an impact than Bartlesville could

This cell headed to OKC is taking on a really weird satellite shape. Almost like a reverse hook echo.

You'd be surprised at the differences in weather station quality and installation. Japan does it better than anyone, and they get some huge wind recordings.
Our weather station network runs the spectrum from pretty dang good to absolute shite. I don't think we have one anywhere within the NOAA network that would survive long enough to record 200+.
ETA: There are some mesonet sites out there that could maybe do it, but most aren't publicly accessible.

Yea that’s odd. It’s happened before but it was on a cell moving from southeast to northwest in Nebraska.

Tornado warning for that storm within the line north of OKC now.

Topeka had the opposite problem last week. They sounded the sirens and then due to something in the software they couldn't turn them off when everything had passed by.

New tornado warning northeast of OKC.
