Tornado outbreak

Cloudy almost all day.  Between 4 and 4:30 pm, several storms fired up west of Oklahoma City.  By 5 pm, a very strong thunderstorm was producing multiple tornados west of OKC.  One formed over Norman and touched down on the south end of the OU campus.  It rumbled east-northeast just south of Tinker AFB and into the Shawnee area.  According to the Weather Channel and as of 9 pm, the same tornado was still on the ground and moving into Arkansas.  The Weather Channel said the tornado has tracked over 150 miles.  Winds in the Choctaw area were over 150 mph.  Very strong tornado.  Five people died and many injured in the OKC area.  No word as of now regarding injuries east of OKC toward the state line.  Hopefully people in the eastern part of the state had more warning than those in the OKC area.  That storm formed fast and started creating damage in less than an hour.  Incredible.  I was listening to Gary England's weather broadcast on Channel 9 in OKC.  It was being broadcast over one of the local radio stations.  The channel 9 news helicopter was flying around the storm and suddenly the pilot started talking about his chopper being thrown around by high winds.  By the time he moved away from the area and looked back, he saw the huge tornado.  He said he must have been caught in the vortex as the tornado was forming.  Wow.
