April 1, 2015 Chase

Fun local chase.  Pretty structure near Springtown before the CAP killed off the storm.  Approximately 1" hail observed just west of Springtown.

Hominy Tornado 4/14/11 revisited

What a day this was!  Marc and I sat in the northern suburbs of OKC awaiting initiation on what appeared to be a fairly potent severe weather setup later in the afternoon.  A line of scattered cells went up along the dryline that ran N-S along I-35. We chased the cells to the northeast and eventually found ourselves on a tornado-warned cell just to the south of Hominy, OK.  We gingerly positioned ourselves into the inflow notch of this beast as the RFD came racing in our direction.  Rain began to wrap around the low level circulation as the funnel quickly condensed into a wedge.  We bailed south and let the tornado pass about a 1/2 mile to our north.

Here is a screengrab just before we moved south.
