Meteorologist ClicheVortex2014 Posted April 21, 2023 Meteorologist Share Posted April 21, 2023 Wikipedia page set up for yesterday and I guess today. 2 EF3s confirmed so far. Given how much Norman has to survey and the velocity signatures we saw last night, I'd imagine they're still looking and this is very preliminary. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_outbreak_of_April_19–20,_2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at the subsection of the article of tornadoes of 2023 when I made that post. Not sure why there's a discrepancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meteorologist Ingyball Posted April 21, 2023 Meteorologist Share Posted April 21, 2023 Just got back from our storm survey. It turned into a 13 hour day after I had less than 4 hours of sleep. I can't reveal any information right now, but the storm was even more impressive than I thought. It kept us busy all day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Source is from https://www.weather.gov/oun/events-20230419 Could've seen the Shawnee rating go either way imo. That rotation was worthy of EF3 but I questioned whether it hit anything to do that damage. I didn't see debris go that high last night but maybe I missed it or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks about the lack of sleep but that's some solid overtime/comp time. Will be curious to see what you all found. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meteorologist Ingyball Posted April 21, 2023 Meteorologist Share Posted April 21, 2023 So I can say that the storm produced 2-3 EF-2 tornadoes (we're going with 3 right now). We should have a final count and the track out later today if not tomorrow. It's pretty impressive actually. Had this storm hit a more populated area like the one down south did, we'd be in an entirely different situation right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceresistance Posted April 21, 2023 Author Share Posted April 21, 2023 I know Weather.us has the radar archive, but does anyone have a site and/or an entire loop of the tornadoes with radar and velocity from Cole to Prague, OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They updated the weather.gov site and updated Shawnee to EF-2, must have been a typo when they added those pictures and claimed EF-3 damage.

But our funny motto here is "when in drought forecast drought" lol. Rain has been hard to come by xD Going to reply to this in the appropriate thread.

Meteorologist Ingyball Posted April 21, 2023 Meteorologist Share Posted April 21, 2023 Here's the PNS from the supercell I warned on and the survey we did (they finished today). Overall there were 8 tornadoes and 2 EF-2s all from one Supercell in a relatively small area. This would have been a horrible situation if it happened further south in our more populated areas. Thankfully there were only a couple of minor injuries and most the damage was to outbuildings and trees. A few homes saw roof damage, but thankfully none I saw were hit hard enough to cause displacement. https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/wx/afos/p.php?pil=PNSICT&e=202304212302 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radar omega is a hell of an app models satellites radar up to 200 frames radar history everything you need literally anything for $12.99 a month I suggest RadarScope folks head to radar omega too I have both. But here’s your loops if you buy the beat version monthly you get all this if you need anything else let me know screenRecording.mp4 screenRecording.mp4 screenRecording.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two ideas for you: Metorologist Stu Ostro's twitter feed has a nice loop that follows the storm. You could use NOAA's archive and then import files of Level 2 and Level 3 data into Gibson Ridge products. I have some experience doing such things with both systems, but I don't know if that applies to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
